A Few More Books on Humor & Laughter

Never have I dragged my feet like this in updating this blog. My current schedule has drained my "humor" and muted my laughter. Yesterday, a message from the library came to tell me to pick up my reserved books on humor and laughter, and hence reminded me of my long neglected blog.
