Sinopsis
This edition of "The Oxford Dictionary of Humorous Quotations" contains over 5000 quotations hand-picked by the writer and broadcaster Ned Sherrin. It contains a wide coverage of themes such as autobiography, awards and prizes, parties, presidents, smoking and tennis. From sharp one-liners to witty quips, there are quotations from classic humorists such as Mae West, Oscar Wilde and Groucho Marx, to today's well known comedians and wits including Dick Vosburgh, Maureen Lipman, Tracey Ullman, Ben Elton and Ian Hislop. There are also quotations from famous luminaries from walks of life other than comedy, from Samuel Johnson to Tennessee Williams, and Albert Einstein to the Duke of Wellington.

Críticas
"Passes the test.... [Discover] lines that are simply falling-down hilarious." "From an international group of writers, humorists, actors, and public figures, Sherrin has collected almost 6000 quotes, some witty puns and one-liners and some possibly insulting. Along with traditional favorites such as Mark Twain, Mae West, and Shakespeare, this new edition updates the 1996 edition with more contemporary figures, such as Madonna, Jay Leno, and Mick Jagger.... Covering a wide range of themes, authors, and time periods, this source is excellent for public speakers, writers, trivia buffs, and those who love to laugh. Highly recommended."--Library Journal "Thanks go to Ned Sherin, the BBC satirist, for researching and compiling the lines that get smiles and some belly laughs."--Gary Stevens, WCBS Radio "Passes the test...The discovery of lines that are simply falling-down hilarious."--Seattle Times "For those who are often looking for quality quotations, this book is sure to be a hit.
