The Best Jokes and Stories: And How to Tell Them
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The purpose of this book is to survey a selection of jokes—classics as well as those making the rounds today—and to provide suggestions on how to tell them effectively. Note: Some of the material is 'salty' because sex is an important part of life and lends itself to humor. Those who wish to develop as raconteurs must have a good stock of stories of different types at hand, in order to contribute to a social gathering, no matter who is present. This collection contains a variety of stories, from the ribald to the most sophisticated, such as 'Beethoven's Ninth' and 'Bohr.' Some—Three Women at the Gates of Heaven—are double-barreled, with two punch lines. I find them all quite amusing.
