Description
A bit of April-foolery, this is an errant collection of odd ball pieces by a TV writer which ranges from training an aardvark to feuds, wine and vodka, to tree surgery and the dangers of sign language. You can read about the Tzarist regime in Poughkeepsie, or the year the locusts came; about a boy and a dinosaur or the cat that adopted a baby; about the turtle that became a moving picture star or the wonders of India; about a barroom ballet or a Rain-trapped missionary -- and you are guaranteed not to learn a single, solitary THING. "My Brother Was an Only Child" was Jack Douglas' very first humour book, having written for famous radio and television celebrities such as Jack Paar, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Jimmy Durante, as well as TV shows such as "Adventures of Harriet and Ozzie", "The George Gobel Show", and "Laugh-In". It perfectly captures the sense of humour prevalent in this era and is as refreshing and side-splittingly funny now as it was then.
