Excuse It, Please! door Cornelia Otis Skinner
The humor lost some of its power with age. The culture is different, technology has advanced, and the larger population doesn't really gets horses either, Mrs. Skinner. But the tone is and there were several chapters that still had the humorous touch.
I found it to be highly amusing, almost like a verbal version of The Play That Goes Wrong, until the middle when she started throwing around Paris geography and my ignorance became apparent(and I stopped getting the jokes).
Some funny bits and some very not funny bits(among them ones about her son and the fiction piece which was very ... datedly racist).
