Ether and Me or Just Relax is a humorous and satirical book written by Will Rogers. The book is a collection of essays and anecdotes that poke fun at various aspects of American society and culture in the early 20th century. The title of the book refers to two of the author's favorite pastimes - inhaling ether and relaxing. The essays cover a wide range of topics, including politics, religion, sports, and entertainment. Rogers' witty and irreverent style is on full display throughout the book, as he skewers politicians, celebrities, and other public figures with his trademark wit and sarcasm. Despite its satirical tone, the book also contains some insightful commentary on the state of American society in the early 1900s. Overall, Ether and Me or Just Relax is a hilarious and entertaining read that offers a unique perspective on American culture and society during a time of great change and upheaval.1927. Pictures by Grim Natwick. A posthumous publication of the writings of humorist, Will Rogers. From the foreword: In a little over a score of years he had risen from obscurity to become not only America's foremost comedian, but an Ambassador to the World and the best beloved character of these United States. He had been a cowboy, a performer in a circus, an actor on both the stage and the screen, a lecturer, a writer, a world traveler. For all his varied experience, he retained a natural simplicity of outlook which enabled him to express in terse, commonsense, witty phrases the thoughts and feelings of the common man. He concealed under a quizzical rustic manner that was infinitely winning the breadth of wisdom and the real comprehension of world events that were his. He was always himself; no King, nor President, nor other exalted personage could overawe him or claim exemption from his humorous and pointed quips. His targets became his friends. Never was he more engaging, or funnier, than in this classic tale of a hospital experience, which is presented here in this volume.
