Gathers jokes about stockbrokers, fishermen, fortune tellers, business managers, backseat drivers, mechanics, truck drivers, golfers, marriage, doctors, and children
Soupy Sales (born Milton Supman) was an American comedian, actor, and radio-TV personality and host. He was best known for his local and network children's television show, Lunch with Soupy Sales; a series of comedy sketches frequently ending with Sales receiving a pie in the face, which became his trademark.
From 1968 to 1975, he was a regular panelist on the syndicated revival of What's My Line? and appeared on several other TV game shows. During the 1980s Sales hosted his own show on WNBC-AM in New York City.
I had forgotten the mastery that Soupy wielded with language. The book is a wonderful collection of jokes that made me want a pie in the face. It's a quick read, but a nice time to spend with one of the masters.
