For the 2005 MLA, the American Humor Studies Association has two panels: one on Woody Allen and one on joke cycles. I need one more paper for the Woody Allen panel and two for the joke cycles panel. Any aspect of Woody Allen's career, including his stand-up comedy, his films, his books, and so on. For the joke cycles, examinations of elephant jokes, blonde jokes, and so on. Please send me an abstract if you are interested to the email address below. Thanks! (I apologize for no Mark Twain content, but I need to fill these panels before the April 1 deadline, and I am sure some folks on the list are interested in either or both topics.) John Bird
