Man Walks Into a Bar: The Ultimate Collection of Jokes and One-Liners [Paperback]

Stephen Arnott (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 2004

Man Walks Into A Bar is a one-stop shop for anyone who likes to hear and tell jokes. The jokes are ordered thematically - wives, husbands, doctors, lawyers, the French, the Germans, jokes about nuns, jokes about monkeys, the lot. There are also regular panels which group jokes by type too - Essex girls, changing a lightbulb etc. Our material will turn you into the toast of your local pub or make you loathed in your own home - remember, it is all in the telling. From the sublimely erudite to stuff Frank Carson would turn down (the book has a 'world's worst jokes' section), this book can service you with every joke you'll ever need. What do you call an eskimo chav? - Innuinnit. What did the zen student say at the hamburger stand? - Make me one with everything. What's Irish and lives in the garden? - Paddy O'Furniture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jokes for secondary school talent quest., June 27, 2009

This review is from: Man Walks Into a Bar: The Ultimate Collection of Jokes and One-Liners (Paperback)

This title,and the sequel "Man walks into a bar 2", were bought for my (Senior secondary age )son to do a short standup comedy routine for the end of semester concert. "Man walks into a bar" was the best of the two titles. The audience for the concert of secondary school students, parents and teachers, had to be kept in mind,and any "blue" etc jokes not used. The evening went very well, fun had by all.
