Praise for Great American Humor

"I had a chance to review a copy of this book. It's funny, easy to read, and makes a great gift. Readers can flip through just a few pages at a time, chuckling at the wry wit or laugh-out-loud comments and definitions. My father-in-law and father both enjoyed it as well!" -- Motherhood Moment
