From the Inside Flap

This classic collection of jokes, puns and riddles features the outrageous and the inane, the silly and the side-splitting, and will have you, your family and friends laughing, moaning, guffawing and rolling in uncontrollable fits of laughter. It's for everyone who, from time to time, needs a little laughter in their lives. And who doesn't?

Customer: Waiter, what's this insect in my soup?

With chapters on everything from Modern Romance, the Working World and Aging to Pop Culture, Money, Music and much, much more. 3650 Jokes, Puns and Riddles contains the most ridiculous quip for every conceivable occasion.

Between these covers are a staggering 3650 entries--at a joke per day, that's ten full years of comedy! Everyone's favorites are included, from the hockey game that broke out in the middle of a boxing match to the restaurant on the moon (the food's great, but there's no atmosphere). And who could forget the kilter bees of Scotland, or the custodian who liked to sweep late on Saturdays? All these and thousands more are collected in a comedic compendium of good, clean fun guaranteed not to leave a single knee unslapped.

Last night my daughter's school orchestra played Beethoven...Beethoven lost.

We just received this book and already have been having a lot of fun with it! The jokes are appropriate for an entire family - even young children will find many of the jokes funny. Some of the jokes just make you smile, while others make you laugh til it hurts. My kids (ages 8, 10, and 12) enjoy telling jokes and they have been reading through this book on a daily basis to find new favorites. My youngest enjoys the play on words the most - for example, "How do you put a baby astronaut to sleep?" (Rocket). Or "What did the baby light bulb say to its mother?" (I wuv you watts and watts). The book is broken down into different categories/chapters, so you can find jokes and riddles easily. Overall, I think this is a fun book to have around the house for kids to peruse.

This book is pretty punny. Some of the content had me in stitches and tears (not from laughing my pants off!). With 3,650 jokes, puns, and riddles, there's something for everyone. I like that most of them are puns!!

I've made it fairly deep into this book and it is filled with puns. The title claims Jokes first, haven't found one yet. Puns are not that funny. I should have downloaded the sample and tried that first.
