E-Tales: The Best & Worst of Internet Humor (Hardcover)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

E-Tales? It's cyberspace entertainment in print for the first time. This huge collection of Internet humor parades outrageous jokes, alarming facts, amazing-if-true stories, revealing personality tests, and mind-numbing word games. The world's worst accidents and horrible diseases appear next to terrifying tales of air travel. Jokes about the sex lives of old people mix with signs that you're getting old. You'll find drawings you can make using x's and o's. "Darwin Awards" honor people who do stupid things that result in their demise (thus removing themselves from the gene pool). Vying for the worst country and western songs: "How Can I Miss You If You Won't Go Away?" and "I Still Miss You Baby, but My Aim's Getting Better." Much more to come: two men in a bar stories, sex in the White House jokes, and St. Peter at the Pearly Gates jokes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny But Can Be Somewhat Vulgar, November 15, 2001

By	Jodi "languagejunkie" (Arkansas) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)

This book has a lot of hilarious jokes in it, but it also has quite a few inappropriate jokes ranging from slightly vulgar to downright crude. Granted, the majority of the jokes are clean (as far as the language goes) but have adult themes (i.e. the differences between men & women, sex, drinking, etc) Overall this is a good book (in my opinion) but the reader should be aware of the possibility of being offended by some strong cuss words and outright obnoxious themes.

4.0 out of 5 stars It was alright, August 11, 2001

By	"davidm1542" (Berkley, California USA) - See all my reviews

This book is a pretty cool book if you like that kind of stuff. Definitely not for the little kids though. Some vulgarities are included in the book. But all in all, it is really funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book on e-tails, September 9, 2001

By A Customer

This book is so funny. I love the fact that it is a good-time read and is shocking at times. I can't remember a time when I read a book that I showed my friends and they couldn't put it down. Ever since I showed my friends and family, everybody I know has asked me where I got it. We took this book everywhere and everytime we got bored we'd just start reading it. If they came out with another book like this I'd definitly be the first to get it. I'd definitly recommened this book.
