Riddling Snippets and Jokes From The Bristol Phoenix
A collage of light pieces from The Bristol Phoenix includes quips about square umbrellas, self-deprecating poems, clever anecdotes about a barber hawking a “hair-raiser,” and an Oxford professor met with a witty student reply. It also features humorous vignettes of domestic life, a Knowrance Boy joke, and a long comic anecdote about a farmer and his garden.
