RATIONALE OF THE DIRTY JOKE
An Analysis of Sexual Humor
Gershon Legman
1971 (First Black Cat Edition)
811 pp.
original price $2.25
I must confess dear readers that I was intimidated by the "Holmesian" girth of this tome! Hah, I jest. A weighty but fascinating (perhaps overwritten) investigation of the subjects and motifs of the dirty joke!
VERY GOOD PLUS or better
Bright, clean and lightly-worn, though likely unread softcover book with spine split to head of spine and general shelfwear.
A nice copy of this hard-to-find book.

First line:
"Nothing in the sexual education of the child is so difficult to absorb as the fact of the parents' intercourse: overhearing it, worrying about it, coming upon its traces, and possibly actually observing it and misapprehending its nature as a sadistic or anal act, and finally arguing bitterly with playmates as to whether such a thing exists at all, by what bodily aperature it is effected and ones own parents could conceivably do anything of the kind."
