Product Description
The original Pretty Good Joke Book was pretty darn funny. But it can?t hold a trick candle to the latest edition of this perennial favorite. With more than 200 new jokes, this book runs the gamut from giggles to belly laughs, from gentle chortles to roll-on-the-floor hilarity. We?ve got bar jokes and lawyer jokes. Minnesota jokes and Iowa jokes. Old people jokes and Yo? Mama jokes. Knock-knocks, puns, one-liners, and lightbulb jokes. IRS jokes, religion jokes, and Ole and Lena jokes. Jokes about sports, death, heaven, politics, current events?have we left anything out? As always, our Pretty Good Joke Book attempts to be ecumenical. Nothing is sacred - not even Martha Stewart, who, by the way, has a new recipe for chicken casserole. You boil the chicken and dump the stock. Garrison Keillor on jokes: "What good is greatness without a sense of humor?" "Jokes are democratic. Telling one right has nothing to do with having money or being educated. It's a knack, like hammering a nail straight. Anyone can learn it, and it's useful in all sorts of situations. You can go your whole life and not need math or physics for a minute, but the ability to tell a joke is always handy." "Satire, kids, is your sacred duty as Americans. Be funny. Poke them cows and make them moo."

 good book July 3, 2008
It's nice to be able to give a joke book to my dad that he can safely read to the grandchildren. Thanks!
 Good companion to the CDs July 20, 2007
I got this after I already had the Joke Show CDs. I was telling all the jokes I'd heard, but having trouble remembering many of them. This is a great way to get the jokesa in writing. There are a few new ones, but overall it's best after you've already heard the CDs (which are 5 star in my book :-)
good one April 2, 2007
This is a good book if you think your life isn't funny enough, it sure made me laugh couple of times, sometimes I share the jokes with my friends and family, they all loved them. Let's read it all and make our life extra funny...............happier ever after
family dinners with kids February 10, 2007
Keillor's collection of jokes were a fun addition to our family dinner conversations.
laughter is good for the soul January 19, 2007
Originally, i bought this at Mall of America and left it on our coffee table. During thanksgiving, all family members took turns finding a joke to share. It was so fun, i bought one for my Dad, who is going through chemo-therapy and it has lifted his spirits, when nothing else did.
