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.

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.

This was really good, I enjoyed it and he did a great job writing. A lot of short stories, which was well written

eh- not what i was hoping for. this is a collection of shorts by winters. i was hoping for a memoir or something along that line. what i got was some strange stories- fairly well written, some good, some not, almost all odd...
not bad- but not what i was wanting
