Half a dozen Mesopotamian limericks are missing.

Including one that contained a rhyme for MESOPOTAMIA!!!!!!!

This is how the narrator of "The Name of the Rose" felt when the insane monk burned the library at the abbey.

In the land they call Mesopotamia
The people are gripped by a mania
The put bombs neath their robes

And Boom! Nothing remains of ya!

The secret is, you've got to end your limerick with an exclamation point, as if it's funny.

You know how Samuel Goldwyn sold Danny Kaye to the American public? He said, "Dye his hair orange and no one will notice that Jewish nose" and that's what they did. Same kind of thing.
