From the supposed memoirs of Hitler's barber: "Then, in January of 1945, a plot by several generals to shave Hitler's moustache in his sleep failed when von Stauffenberg, in the darkness of Hitler's bedroom, shaved off one of the Führer's eyebrows instead..." <P> Even though the idea of writing jokes about old Adolf--or addled rabbis, or Maatjes herring--isn't nearly as fresh as it used to be, <i>Getting Even</i> still delivers plenty of laughs. At his best, Woody can achieve a level of transcendent craziness that no other writer can match. If you're looking for a book to dip into at random, or a gift for someone who's seen <i>Sleeper</i> 13 times, <i>Getting Even</i> is a dead lock. 2855791 1971 Getting Even total:770|5:276|4:286|3:184|2:22|1:2| 770 3122 959 34 4 1 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 21:33:07 -0700 2009 Fri May 01 17:03:51 -0700 2009 2 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Apr 25 14:15:06 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 27 10:25:33 -0700 2009

I can never get enough of his wit, humor and charm, and his movies aren't too shabby either. The man is amazing simply put, he is amazing!
