The Humor Section

Jack Handey has a funny essay in today's New York Times Book Review discussing the location of humor sections within bookstores. The essay begins:

In general, the easiest way to locate the Humor section in any bookstore is to go through the front entrance of the bookstore and to the farthest point from the entrance. That’s where the Humor section will be.

If the bookstore has a second floor, the Humor section will be on the second floor, at the farthest point from the entrance. If the second floor has a window that can be jimmied open, and there’s a ledge outside, the Humor section will be at the very end of the ledge.

Check out the rest of the essay here.
