Synopsis

The original Pretty Good Joke Book was pretty darn funny. But it cant 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. Weve 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 eventshave we left anything out? As always, our Pretty Good Joke Book attempts to be ecumenical. Nothing is sacrednot 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. IIt'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.
