Every year, Reader s Digest readers send in tens of thousands of jokes and funny anecdotes, in their quest for a $100 check and, as an extra benefit, eternal glory: to have their joke published in the world s best-read magazine. One man is stopping them from their quest. Andy Simmons. It takes a sense of humor. And Andy certainly has that. Not only is he the arbiter of all things funny in Reader s Digest; he is their Mark Twain, Bill Cosby, and even their David Sedaris. In other words, Andy is the guy Reader s Digest turns to whenever they need a funny story all of America can appreciate. He s perfect for the job. Andy takes great delight in the funny and oddball side of everyday life. In Now That s Funny , Andy presents his most popular, funniest writings on all things America, some exclusive and all-new, some taken from the award-winning pages of Reader s Digest. You ll discover the Andy that goes out and tries things. His first-person tales of taking dance lessons, participating in a Revolutionary War reenactment, and even taking stand-up comedy lessons are some of the funniest articles to ever appear in Reader s Digest. Then you discover the Andy that observes America. His roundups of dumb criminals, crazy lawsuits, ridiculous excuses and out-of-touch scientific research will have you roaring with laughter -- and feeling much better about yourself. Then there s Andy, the family man.You ll laugh out loud as he goes in search of his inner macho --or for the next stop on his vacation, if only he can find the directions.And Andy s observations on marriage and fatherhood are as accurate as they are funny. Finally, there s Andy the jokester.Here are tales from the job of trying to think, act, and be funny every workday, no matter what the dog did this morning on the rug. Tales of his sit-downs with comic legends from Robin Williams to Woody Allen will have you in stitches.Andy also shares his favorite jokes -- many of them too edgy for printing in Reader s Digest Add it up, and it s a book filled with hundreds of feel-good, laugh-out-loud moments about life in these United States -- exactly the type of reading we need today.…
