Answer 4

Records the pithy sayings and jokes of Dan May. The aphorisms and witticisms are worthy of Mark Twain. For example, when asked how many people work at his factory, he answers, "About half." When asked, on another occasion, how many work there broken down by sex, he says, "None broken down by sex, but some by alcohol." May was an important figure in Nashville business and government in the mid-20th Century. A very amusing yet meaningful book.
