fiogf49gjkf0d Granted celebrities lives more interesting than most
However their books rarely read by talk show host
Once the book tour is at an end
Surplus to the recycler they send
The fertilizer value is high from deeds that they boast

fiogf49gjkf0d Thank you. Lots of great stories in that book. The one about the bear attacking him during his camping trip while he was taking a sh*t was hysterical. There's a whole chapter about how he lost a quarter of a million dollars in the stock market during the crash of '29. Even Goldman Sachs gets mentioned. Eddie Cantor recommends it to him. Then he quips- "What is Goldman Sachs? Is it a flour bag?"
And the pictures... When I was a kid and read this book to death, one of the first things I noticed that Groucho's childhood pictures looked a lot like a certain editor when he was small... Though I never stole a dog from a firehouse. (...read the book) If I ever get a digital camera, I'll post a picture of it.

Best celebrity book
I think I mentioned before that I have a first edition (1959) of this book. It was given to me as a kid. I highly recommend it. It's original jacket looks like this, though mine isn't in quite this good of a condition. I got this picture from a site in Germany. No camera to take one myself. I need to get off my ass and drive the obscene distance to a store to get a digital camera. Though maybe I should fix the toilet first. God, I'm lazy...oh, wait. Can't go anywhere. The local agricultural fair is this weekend and it blocks all the roads. No escape. Good thing I got everything done earlier in the week.
