Product Description

Michael Close is an inveterate joke teller whose stories have brought gales of laughter from audiences around the world. For more than twenty years, Michael's friends and colleagues have eagerly awaited a collection of jokes from his enormous repertoire. That Reminds Me is that compilation - more than 250 of the best clean (and not so clean) jokes you've ever read. But this is much more than a joke book. Michael shares heartfelt reminiscences of the funny people who have enriched his life, stories of crazy personal experiences, and thoughts on the importance of "finding the funny" in your own life. This is the perfect book for anyone who needs a good laugh. Foreword by Penn Jillette [The jokes in this collection range from squeaky clean to R-rated. Words that you can't use on network television appear occasionally. If such language offends you, please don't purchase this book.]

5.0 out of 5 stars My second one...., September 24, 2009
By CharMikNel "Thor77" (South Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a book that is so funny, that I shared it with someone who then lent it out to someone else and thus lost my first copy. I was so distraught that I had to go back and order another one. It's just that good. Every one who enjoys either laughing or reading should purchase this just so that then their friends can borrow it and MAYBE they might return it to them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the price, December 16, 2008
I was laughing out loud as I read the jokes in this book. I really liked the tips on how to tell the material to get the biggest laughs.

Even if you don't share the jokes, just reading them will give you a lift !

In a lot of joke books, you read alot of jokes to find good ones. With Mike Close's choices, the research is done.

I highly recommend this book !( gave it as a gift to 3 friends this Xmas )

Hee heee ha...The tears are streaming down my face...harhar har...the best humor book I have ever read....and it's funny, too. I've even made my wife laugh and a few of our friends. This is genuinely funny stuff. My sides hurt.
