This is one of those joke book where to understand the joke you had to be there. I was left scratching my head and only got a couple of chuckles. It would be like us telling jokes about Microsoft to an 1864 person. With no back ground or context the jokes are lost. It makes me wonder what other older texts I have read and missed the joke. Lol

It was supposed to be humorous, but the only thing funny was the man laughing with my money. It was too horrible to read, and the pages are too think for the outhouse.
