The jokes in this book are perfect for those times when the fish aren't biting or your friends are watching you cook burgers. With a little discretion the jokes are OK for most anyone. I had the wife in tears more than once. I'm back to buy a copy for my son-in-law.

My father loves jokes, and so when he was recently hospitalized and not in the best of spirits, this book was the perfect pick-me-up. Sure, some of the jokes are not exactly appropriate for a daughter to give a father, but I was naive due to not being able to preview this online first. He still cracked up and had a good time reading through it. The only downside? Some of the jokes are really familiar/common ones, but still funny.

95% of the jokes in this book are classic, very funny and tellable. Easy reading, one joke per page with a history behind some of them. Well worth the investment. A rabbi and a priest...
