Education is divided into brilliant education, classical education and incomplete education. All the very old are brilliantly educated; those who seem to know nothing else are classically educated; no one, so far as we hear, is poorly educated.

"There is no reason for a young wannabe millionaire to think he has the right to get up at 7.30 in the morning, drink cold water with his lunch and go to bed at 10 at night. If you want to change your work situation, change your life. When the landlady brings you bacon and eggs for breakfast, throw them out the window to the dog and tell her to bring you raw asparagus and a bottle of champagne. Then call your employer and tell them you'll be there around eleven. Your work situation will change. And very soon, in fact."

A spartan stitching together of centrifugal stories and snapshots that deftly juggle between in black humor and the absurd, by the Canadian pioneer of the genre – and “funniest man of the 1910s” – Stephen Leacock.

Author Biography:

"Case" from the few, o Stephen Leacock (1869-1944) was born in a village in the south of England, grew up in Canada, studied intermittently at the universities of Toronto and Chicago and eventually became a professor of political economy and published around twenty university papers and scientific books of conservative positions and opinions. At the same time, he was for at least a decade the most popular satirist in the English-speaking world, exposing with an outrageous but completely understandable humor the social pretense and the mechanisms of class discrimination, continuing in the tradition of Mark Twain and influencing equally "fugitive" comedians like the Marx brothers. It has even been argued that he deliberately adopted an increasingly dispassionate style in his scholarly writings so that future academics would ignore them.
