The lines we all wish we could have said are arranged thematically and cover all aspects of life: from the world we inhabit to the things we eat, smoke and drink; from the way we move around to what and how we learn—oh, and the pointlessness of football. Within each theme, the quotations are placed chronologically providing a real sense of the development of thoughts about each subject—as well as seeing how jokes evolve over the years and, in some cases, who "borrowed" from whom.
There is a short biography of each author, a brief contextual note for each quotation and an index of keywords to help you find your chosen witticism quickly. But do not be over-hasty when you use this book; it is a browser’s delight, and should be enjoyed at leisure
