Description: Senator Sam Ervin's Best Stories. by Thad Stem, Jr., and Alan Butler. 1973. 144 numbered pages. 5 3/4 by 8 1/2 inches. North Carolina Senator Sam Ervin served in the U.S. Congress as a Representative and Senator from 1946 to 1974. He called himself a "country lawyer," and used his southern drawl to highlight the humor in his stories - wikipedia.org article. "As the title suggests, Senator Sam Ervin's Best Stories is a bonanza of earthy wit and mirth. But although the easy, effortless emphasis throughout the book is disarming humor, this is infinitely more than a random collection of pithy anecdotes and vignettes. The back-chat and the spontaneous pick-up between Senator Ervin and the interviewer culminate in a living history of a people and a place." - excerpt off the front jacket flap. A snippet off Chapter 1 - * Interviewer: Senator, your smile is as impish as the wind that courting your lovely azaleas. Have you just read something amusing in that newspaper on your lap?* Ervin: I just read...that an undertaker in London opened a coffin to embalm a woman when he heard her snoring loudly. Thank you!
