These two humourous books were originally published alongside each other
in 1923. The first 'Say it with Oil' contains a number of humourous
remarks regarding the habits and complaints of wives. The second 'Say it
with Bricks' contains a humourous account of the habits and complaints
of husbands. Ring Lardner, born in 1885, began his writing career as a
journalist in 1907. Six years later, he published his first successful
book, You Know Me Al, which earned him significant recognition. He then
went on to write several notable works including 'Haircut', 'Some Like
Them Cold', 'The Golden Honeymoon', 'Alibi Ike', and 'A Day with Conrad
Green'.
