And like a flare-up of herpes, we\u2019re back with Billy\u2019s Holiday Gift Giving Suggestions<\/em><\/strong>.  But, have no fear \u2013 the worst injury you\u2019ll receive from these gifts is a paper cut.  Because this week, we\u2019re bringing you books.  The first one comes from Carol Leifer <\/strong>\u2013 the legendary scribe who has written for everyone, from Letterman <\/strong>to Seinfeld<\/strong>.  So needless to say, her book How to Write a Funny Speech<\/em><\/strong><\/a> 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\u2019ll inscribe it anyway you\u2019d like, she\u2019ll mail it out, and she\u2019ll only charge you $20! DM her on social media or at CarolLeifer.com<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.  Tell her Billy sent you.<\/p>\n

Next up is our pal Judy Gold<\/strong>.  Back in 2019, she wrote Yes I Can Say That \u2013 When They Come For The Comedians, We\u2019re All In Trouble<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.  It\u2019s like she was psychic!  It made our list that year.  And here it is, in another printing due to the timeliness of the issue.  \u201cNo 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.\u201d  You know who said that?  Amy Schumer<\/strong>.  Who am I to argue with her?  If you know someone who needs a laugh that will also make them think, this is perfect.<\/p>\n

When we don\u2019t have room for an Ask Billy<\/em><\/strong> question because we had an Ask Jacob<\/em> question, we\u2019ve 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\u2019d rather fantasize about them pucking!  And you can check them out on www.BillyMasters.com<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 the site that always lets you score.  Should you have a question for me (or Jacob), send it along to Billy@BillyMasters.com<\/a><\/strong> and I promise to get back to you before Fraser exclaims, \u201cThe British are cumming!\u201d  Until next time, remember, one man\u2019s filth is another man\u2019s bible.<\/p>\n
