It Works

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Improving Your IQ
by Richard G./ Alpha Group (Edt)/ Politis Pellegrino

Richard G. Pellegrino is an expert in the field of human intelligence and he has produced a well written, scholarly work which undoubtedly achieves its aim of improving IQ. I sold my copy to Stephen Segal for $45 more than I paid for it, and the actor read it in two hours. The title, that is. A year later, after he'd finished the actual book, Segal called me from some B Grade movie set in Upper Volta and said excitedly, "Frank, it works! At first I thought this was a great book but by the final page I was smart enough to see that it's the worstest thing what has ever been wrote."
I sat back in my chair, lit a cigar with the $50 note Segal had paid me for my unread copy, and said, "Seggers, you're a genius."
"A what? How do you spell that?"
As I hung up, I could hear him flipping through the 'j' section of the dictionary.
