I was really in the mood to read short stories, as well as interested in what Jonathan Winters would write, since he obviously created characters and scenarios his whole life in the TV shows and movies that he did. Only read a few stories, however, before throwing the book in the trash and washing my hands. Some stories have really pervy stuff. Very disappointed and sorry I wasted a credit on the book.

Collection of vignettes on various subjects. The quality here is about what you'd expect from Uncle Charley, paying a vanity press so the world would understand how deep he was. A disappointment to anyone who has ever been delighted by Winters' off-the-wall humor.
