Subtle, amusing examples of wordplay

This book is a collection of short statements involving wordplay. Some examples are: *) A snarl of negotiations. *) A pad of expense accounts *) A charge of shoppers *) A bait of bargains Like all good examples of wordplay there are direct and subtle meanings in the statements. Sometimes it takes a bit of thought, but it is always possible to find the internal punch line. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book.
