And like a flare-up of herpes, we’re back with Billy’s Holiday Gift Giving Suggestions.  But, have no fear – the worst injury you’ll receive from these gifts is a paper cut.  Because this week, we’re bringing you books.  The first one comes from Carol Leifer – the legendary scribe who has written for everyone, from Letterman to Seinfeld.  So needless to say, her book How to Write a Funny Speech really delivers.  And it just went into its third printing.  Carol is selling copies of her book in a fascinating way.  If you need to buy a perfect gift for someone under $25, you can buy the book directly from her.  She’ll inscribe it anyway you’d like, she’ll mail it out, and she’ll only charge you $20! DM her on social media or at CarolLeifer.com.  Tell her Billy sent you.

Next up is our pal Judy Gold.  Back in 2019, she wrote Yes I Can Say That – When They Come For The Comedians, We’re All In Trouble.  It’s like she was psychic!  It made our list that year.  And here it is, in another printing due to the timeliness of the issue.  “No one makes me laugh harder than Judy Gold.  If I had to pick one comedian to write a book about free speech, it would be Judy.”  You know who said that?  Amy Schumer.  Who am I to argue with her?  If you know someone who needs a laugh that will also make them think, this is perfect.

When we don’t have room for an Ask Billy question because we had an Ask Jacob question, we’ve definitely come to the end of yet another column.  And let me thank Jacob for not answering the question about the actors playing gay hockey players.  Frankly, I’d rather fantasize about them pucking!  And you can check them out on www.BillyMasters.com – the site that always lets you score.  Should you have a question for me (or Jacob), send it along to Billy@BillyMasters.com and I promise to get back to you before Fraser exclaims, “The British are cumming!”  Until next time, remember, one man’s filth is another man’s bible.
