Autorenporträt

Now, at age 74, Paul confesses to being being an auto aficionado*, enthusiast, motor head, and car guy. By age 19, he had hand-built a go-cart and a motorbike, owned a Wizard motorbike, another go-cart, a Vespa, a 1952 Plymouth Cranbrook (wrecked by a Greyhound bus), an Opel for the demolition derbies, a 1937 Ford coupe, a 1951 Ford Victoria, and a 1955 Ford Customline. He has since owned over 40 old cars, mostly mid-50s Fords and mid-60s Thunderbirds. Old cars require garages and money, so Paul earned an M.S. from Florida State University and a PH.D. from Vanderbilt University. He was a Senior Statistician at the Centers for Disease Control for 30 years and has many scientific publications and several books. He began writing jokes regularly over 25 years ago when he was Editor for both Cruiser News and Fomoco Times.
