I slogged through 99 pages and finally gave up. The first essay was witty and fun to read. As I progressed through the book however, the essays became less and less funny, and read like a high school attempt at humor. I'm posting for someone else to try to enjoy.

I liked The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip, but the essays in this book were slow-moving and preachy. Explaining a joke kills it; overexplaining a joke beats its corpse into pudding.
