I tell ya [adjusts collar] humour books don’t get no respect.
In general, the easiest way to locate the Humor section in any bookstore is to go through the front entrance of the bookstore and to the farthest point from the entrance. That’s where the Humor section will be.
If the bookstore has a second floor, the Humor section will be on the second floor, at the farthest point from the entrance. If the second floor has a window that can be jimmied open, and there’s a ledge outside, the Humor section will be at the very end of the ledge.
Sometimes the Humor section is in another building entirely, like an old, burned-out warehouse. If so, it will be in the back of the warehouse, behind some boards.
Because of its remoteness, it is a good idea to make a lot of noise when you approach the Humor section, to avoid surprising people engaged in a sex act. More prostitutes are arrested in Humor sections than in any other part of the bookstore.

I think I need directions to the humour in that piece.

I can sympathise (if not quite laugh along) with the author there… Here in the UK the humour [sic] section is generally to be found in equally far-flung corners of the book store, arranged chaotically and treated as somehow shameful… Not entirely surprising given the quality of some of the books on offer… But quite sad for the better ones…

He should try a Barnes & Noble: the section’s right at the front, near the magazines. Course, there’s only about 2,000 stores. Probably never heard of them.
