Summary: Uncle Miltie does it again!
Review: Uncle Miltie does it again! This is a fine companion to his first big, fat hilarious volume. The good news is that the topics are not all the same as in the first volume (you do need both to have a complete collection) but the big laughs are as big as ever. You truly get a sense when you read Berle's jokes from this and his first book that he wanted to include some of his best and favorite stuff and get it out there to the public (and maybe other comedians, as a kind of legacy). I only wish I had the $ to buy his file's CD-rom version but until I do this and the first book are on my office reference shelf for use when I need a laugh, when I want to appear brilliant when visiting friends, or to plug a gap in a routine that I'm writing or a special show that I'm doing (I'm a fulltime ventriloquist). You can see how many of his jokes were "switched" from others over the years and that is a common practice. You can take a joke on X subject and reword it and customize it for a specific person or group. The main thing is: Berle didn't issue a thick, joke-filled book containing filler. Every joke, every page MATTERS. He gifted to all who pay the price some of his funniest stuff: one-liners, longer jokes, insults, riddles. Super high quality --and worth a LOT more than the book's price.
