It was quite a task deciding on a title for this no sense, nonsense, makes no sense compiled literature over the past years. I decided on this simple title. Because of my attraction to quotations, to quips, witticisms; ad lib one liners, etc. Whatever was said or by circumstance read I stored them in the back of my mind. I jotted them down on whatever napkin, receipt or piece of paper that was handy. This came about during social conversations with friends, relatives, celebrities, politicians, whomever. Some are mere questions, some are in fact excerpts from my first book. “I don’t understand.” Credit was given to those I could.

Believe it or not, this is probably the first book to attempt to identify the original sources of some of the English language's most common expressions.

It is hoped that this book will serve to take the monotony out of grammar learning.
