By Woody Allen
From the cover. In Getting Even Woody Allen revenges himself upon such significant subjects as death, obesity, organized crime, the invention of the sandwich, adult education, laundry lists of famous people, and Latin American revolutionaries. Here is Woody Allen at his philosophical deepest: • "... Death is an acquired trait.'' • "If man were immortal, do you realize what his meat bills would be?" • "Why pork was proscribed by Hebraic law is still unclear, and some scholars believe that the Torah merely suggested not eating pork at certain restaurants." • "Eternal Nothingness is OK if you're dressed for it." • "My mind can never know my body although it has become quite friendly with my legs."
