Take My Wife, Please!: Henny Youngmana's Giant Book of Jokes
In Take My Wife, Please! Youngman's enduring routines are collected in one volume. Arapid-fire comic, he could tell six, seven, sometimes even eight jokes a minute, like:
Walked into a store and said, "This is my wife's birthday. I'd like to buy her a beautiful fountain pen." The clerk winked at me and said, "A little surprise, huh?" I said, "Yes, she's expecting a Cadillac."
You meet the craziest people on the subway. One guy sitting next to me kept saying, "Call me a doctor--call me a doctor." I asked, "What's the matter, are you sick?" He said, "No, I just graduated from medical school."
Youngman began his career with the intention of becoming a concert violinist. When he discovered that he had a talent for making people laugh, the violin became a prop. He was called the King of the One-Liners for good reason, and this collection shows why.

If memes existed in the late 1980s, comedian Henny Youngman would undoubtedly have become one with these four words – a take on his signature phrase, “Take my wife, please.” https://t.co/reJ235kj61
