Paperback edition. This book is one-half of my previous book "The Funniest People in Sports and Neighborhoods: 500 Anecdotes." This book contains 250 anecdotes, including this one: When children's book author Sid Fleischman started going bald, his kids made him a hairpiece-they clipped hair from the family pet dog and glued it to fabric. Mr. Fleischman writes in his autobiography, "The Abracadabra Kid," that he was very happy with the gift-"It gave me a punk pompadour decades before spiked hairdos became trendy."
