There is nothing any easier than
writing jokes. Simply jot down your
ideas for the jokes, say two or three
hundred, on a slip of paper; then seat
yourself before a typewriter. Feed
blank paper into the typewriter and
inject the ideas through your finger
tips into the keys Continue to do
this until all of the ideas on the slip
are exhausted, then gather up the
jokes, which have piled themselves
into a heap on the opposite side of the
typewriter, send them to editors ane
receive your checks. A couple o.
