Le narrateur rencontre, dans un autobus, un jeune homme au long cou, coiff� d'un chapeau orn� d'une tresse au lieu de ruban. Le jeune homme �change quelques mots assez vifs avec un autre voyageur, puis va s'asseoir � une place devenue libre. Un peu plus tard, le narrateur rencontre le m�me jeune homme en grande conversation avec un ami qui lui conseille de faire remonter le bouton sup�rieur de son pardessus. Cette br�ve histoire est racont�e quatre-vingt-dix-neuf fois, de quatre-vingt-dix-neuf mani�res diff�rentes. Mise en image, port�e sur la sc�ne des cabarets, elle a connu une fortune extraordinaire. " Exercices de style " est un des livres les plus populaires de Queneau.
