A very funny book, full of oneliners and quotations used by famous people. I especially liked this one (original translation from Dutch found on the web):
Eric Idle: So we went to Germany on a writing recce, who's heard of a writing recce? They picked us up at the airport and drove us straight to Dachau. All the way there, they kept denying they knew what it was. 'What camp? There is no camp here'. And we got there and it was closing and Graham said 'tell them we're jewish'. And they let us in.
Leuk boekje. Maar zoals in het merendeel van zulk soort boeken zijn het enkel Amerikanen en Engelsen die rake oneliners lijken te kunnen plaatsen.
