On politics: "You have to remember one thing about the will of the people: It wasn't that long ago that we were swept away by the Macarena." Jon Stewart On shopping: "Every town has the same two malls: the one white people go to, and the one white people used to go to." Chris Rock On sex: "Engaged women have sex 2.9 times a week. And the .9 is really frustrating." Jay Leno And that's just the beginning. Full of laugh-out-loud remarks from the most popular comedians on the planet, "The Comedy Thesaurus" is a terrific resource for writers, speakers, fans of stand-up comedy, and anyone who appreciates a good joke.
