Have some fun with your native tongue!
In The Cunning Linguist, renowned language expert Richard Lederer shows us the naughtier side of wordplay, revealing hundreds of hilarious, ingenious, unabashed, and adults-only puns, jokes, limericks, one-liners, and other adventures in sexual humor. This book of "good, clean dirty fun" will delight word hounds, punsters, bachelor-party goers, and anyone who likes a clever grown-up joke.
Here's a taste of The Cunning Linguist:
Q: What does a man have in his pants that you can also find on a pool table? A: Pockets.
Have you heard about the incompatible couple? He had no income, and she wasn't pattable.
The four stages of a couple's sex life: Under 35: Tri-weekly 35-45: Try weekly 45-55: Try weakly 55 and over: Try, try, try.
For much more, sneak between the covers of this unique and laugh-out-loud book.

Subtitled "An Exposé of Embarrassing, Excruciating, and Egregious Errors In English," this book is a sequel to author Richard Lederer's "Anguished English" and complements his earlier "Crazy English". It is, of course, a compilation of grammatical and spelling gaffes that lead to often-comedic interpretations.
