The World's Best Dirty Jokes [Paperback]

RORY STUART (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1980

Each of us has laughed at one or more of the great classics-- whether it was the one about the elephant and the canary or the one about the travelling salesman and the farmer's daughter.

"Good taste", as it was interpreted by the censors, did not allow the collection and publication of these funniest dirty stories. And so they have been told aloud, passed from mouth to mouth and sometimes from generation to generation.

Things have changed. And so, a few years ago, Mr. "J." decided to gather together the very best-- the very funniest-- from the large crop of dirty jokes.

"Dirty" isn't, of itself, funny. A good dirty joke is often graphic and sometimes shocking. But it is always amusing and often causes hilarity. The final crop of jokes was selected by 12 separate judges. Only those jokes that brought cheer and laughter to the heart were permitted to remain.

Some of the stories will be familiar to you. None will be heard on radio or television. But all are designed to make you smile-- and, with a little practice, you can make others laugh, too.

From the Inside Flap

For many years, we've all laughed at the great classic "dirty" jokes. But always we had to hear them by word-of-mouth. No one dared publish them. But times have changed. And now Mr. "J" has gathered the very best of the world's dirty jokes and put them in a book. A very funny book filled with very funny stories. At last, they can be published. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: World's Best Dirty Jokes (Mass Market Paperback)

There are just too many great jokes out there and most of them didn't find their way to these pages. While some jokes are subjective, there are some that just plain split your sides and I didn't find myself laughing hard all the way through this rather small collection. Plus times change. Many on these pages are relatively tame compared to some of the really dirty humor around today. Not really worth the price but worth reading in the dentist's office instead of old National Geographics or Reader's Digest.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is garbage, May 11, 2004

This review is from: World's Best Dirty Jokes (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is the worst joke book i have ever read. Grade school jokes are even better. I didn't even chuckle. It is very out dated. I highly reccomend you not to even think about purchasing this item. I would have rated it even lower if I could have. It is about a quarter of a 1 star.

First of all, I would like to say, this book made me want to vomit. But I was reading a dirty joke book. So does that matter? No. This collection is vulgar, cruel...on and on. Putting all that aside, this book wasn't funny. I've heard jokes that made me laugh for hours. I did not laugh once while reading this book. So, in my opinion, it failed. You be the judge.
