Real people and normal people. Normal except that the darndest things happen to them. As Jack Paar says, 'Charley Weaver is a witch. He knows more about comedy than anyone alive, which he isn't...

That's witchcraft!' This book proves Jack Paar's point." Dust jacket is in good condition, with slight shelfwear (it's been doing its job, protecting this book for 54 years!) and chips/rubs.
