Stop Me If You've Heard It!

Soupy Sales was a longtime host of an event at Friars Club called Stop Me If Youve Heard It where a group of comics all seated on bar stools attempt to top each other by telling a joke. By the end of the evening its not all that clear who actually topped who since the audience is too busy brushing tears away, doubling over in laughter, and praying their bladders remain intact before making a beeline to the bathrooms. Hilarious doesnt even begin to describe these evenings. This event with Soupy as top banana was as highly anticipated as The Friars infamous Roasts, and his comic legacy endures in this book of his favorite jokes. There is never a dull moment when Soupy is in the room. The Friars are luckywe just have to turn around and listen to Soupy tell his hilarious jokes. Thanks to this book, though, youve got the next best thingif you cant join him, read him. The Soup is on and hes boiling over with laughs. - Barry Dougherty of The Friars Club
