Catalogue Note
“The jokes are about putting the ball in the hole, and… I didn’t want to say I wish I had done that. I checked out joke telling books. I picked out about a dozen jokes… ones that were familiar, the ones that get retold, and wrote them out, by hand, on small pieces of paper. Paper and pencil. Pencil on paper”
