A Very Funny Book: Bob Newhart

Today, i read the book "I Shouldn't Even Be Doing This" by Bob Newhart.
I am a big fan of Bob Newhart, from his stand up comedy and his televisons show. He has a very clean show but is very funny.
The funniest story (and the dirtiest): Dick Martin was much luckier in finding material in his travels. He once checked into a hotel that was C-shaped. Shortly after settling into his room, he was looking out the window. On the other side of the building he noticed a man who was by himself in a room and was engaging in what, in polite circles, would be called self love.
Dick was in room 807. By counting along the building, Dick quickly figured out that the man was in room 842. He picked up the phone, dialed the man's room and watched.
The man answered the phone with a curt "Who is this".
Dick replied, "This is God, cut it out."
If you are a fan of Bob Newhart, you need to get this book. It's hard to put down and it is quite funny, in a Bob Newhart kind of way.
