Funny Money: Priceless Quotations from Billionaires to Bankrupts

Are you the kind of person who studies the register receipt when you return home from the supermarket? Or are you the kind of person who tips freely and has box seats at the ballgame? Whatever type you are, there’s lots to keep you amused in Funny Money. As you’ ll see from this collection, much has been said on the subject—from Bob Hope’s all-too-truism that “A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove you don’t need it” to J. Paul Getty’s jaundiced observation that “Money is like manure: you have to spread it around or it smells.” So throw down those boring bank statements and pick up a book that will make you laugh—or grimace—with recognition.
