What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

The prescription for Tar Heel Laughter: Take in large or small doses as you feel the need, rest between guffaws, read aloud when you can tie down a listener, pass off what witticisms you can as your own, keep in a safe, dry place and never lend. You'll never get it back.—Raleigh News & Observer
