Freud also wrote "How to parasail over an iceberg" but it is out of print.

Subject: [tips] to freud or not to freud?
Hi,
As I've mentioned before, I'll be teaching a course on the psychology of
laughter, mirth, and humor. I've been struck by the paucity of available
information on the subject, but that makes it more exciting to me. My
question, however, is this: Freud wrote a book entitled _Jokes and Their
Relation to the Unconscious." I can get it from Amazon, and it's only about
$10. On the other hand, my time is worth much more. Would any of you know
whether there is a concise summary somewhere that I can read to give me an
idea of Freud's ideas on the subject? Ordinarily, I wouldn't spend much time
on Freud, but apparently he's one of the few who actually developed a theory
about humor, jokes, and comedy (for what that's worth) so I feel like I
should at least have some idea of his thoughts and not be completely
dismissive. Any of you Freud experts out there have suggestions? He's
mentioned in a couple of books I already have, but not more than a paragraph
in each, which is not enough.
Thanks for any ideas or suggestions,
Carol
