About this ebook
This work contains a collection of witty squibs by American humorist Bill Nye. Writing in his own person, rather than in the mask of a foolish character, Nye revealed his unique but funny nature. He is most famous as the founder and editor of the Laramie Boomerang. It gave him national fame, and he gained subscribers in every state and some foreign countries.
