About Viva Laughter!

Treat this book like a box of snacks. Place it beside your favorite easy chair or atop your nightstand, to be on hand when those sudden cravings for something quick and delectable unsettle the mind. Or use it to ease the tedium of your next long trip. It may be opened and sampled anytime and anywhere that you feel the world owes you a little treat. Some of its confections are sweet; some tart.
