Description

The Professor's Advanced Book of Whimsy is a new collection of anecdotes, jokes and puzzles from Michael C Petty. This follow-up to his acclaimed previous work explores the nature of wit and humour throughout the centuries. Organised into nine themed chapters, the book delves into various subjects, including getting old, pets and animals, science and teaching, British culture, quotations and one-liners, parody and satire, money and business, acting and politics, and nonsense and absurdity. Each chapter offers a unique perspective on these topics, showcasing Petty's wit and humour. From the legend of a monkey washed up on Hartlepool beach during the Napoleonic Wars to reflections on the British Royal Family as potential targets for jokes, The Professor's Advanced Book of Whimsy is a collection that will appeal to anyone who enjoys humour and satire.
