Overview

The original Pretty Good Joke Book was pretty darn funny. But it can't hold a trick candle to the latest edition of this perennial favorite. With more than 200 new jokes, this book runs the gamut from giggles to belly laughs, from gentle chortles to roll-on-the-floor hilarity.

We've got bar jokes and lawyer jokes. Minnesota jokes and Iowa jokes. Old people jokes and Yo' Mama jokes. Knock-knocks, puns, one-liners, and lightbulb jokes. IRS jokes, religion jokes, and Ole & Lena jokes. Jokes about sports, death, heaven, politics, current events...have we left anything out?
