Regurgitation of material, regardless of how funny it was the first time everyone heard it, makes for a repetitious read and a disgruntled customer. Stewart's off-the-wall and out-of-his-mind stories, whether they make you giggle or glare, must be applauded for their uncontested originality. Yes, we've all thought that Bill Gates must have made some pact with the devil. But few of us have sat down and written it in old-style folklore form entitled "The Devil and William Gates," in which ol' Billy swindles Lucifer...
