Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The fundamental rule of humor is that it’s not about you.

It’s never you. It was a moment that taught me a lot about life and about comedy. And, just possibly, about love. -> The fundamental rule of humor is that it’s not about you.
