As a fan of the show, I always loved the Top 10 segment, and I was delighted to see this on my library's "free" shelf. Hell, I would've even paid a buck or two for it if I'd seen it among their used books. The material is, of course, dated (Bush Sr. and Dan Quayle jokes aplenty), which should be expected if you understand what you're getting into. The only surprise is that I'm old enough now to understand most, if not all, the jokes now.

Lots of Dan Quayle jokes.....Which I found amusing:)

Harry gave me and Mike this book when we were in North Carolina. We laughed our booties off!!! I'm re-"reading" it now.

Lacks the punch of the 1st volume.

A well-intentioned time capsule worth opening now!
