Book Cover & Preview Text
Laughter is the best medicine. It makes us feel good. Sometimes we laugh out loud, and at times we silently laugh to ourselves.. See something funny, think of something humorous, hear a good joke and the laughter come forth. It's not easy to hold it back. We use laughter as an escape. We use laughter to cheer someone or brighten someone's day. Sometimes we hide behind laughter. Everyone loves to tell a good joke, but not everyone can. That's why we have professional jokesters (comedians). Successful joke telling is dependent on many things. The way it is delivered to its audience has a big impact on the outcome. Have you ever heard a joke with a messed up punch line? Do yourself a favor - don't tell a joke unless you can tell it right. You don't want everyone to run because you're known for horrible joke telling. Some jokes aren't funny. A joke about a current event that is either too current or too sensitive can turn an audience off. Consider the audience. Don't tell jokes about abortions to pregnant women or molestation jokes to priests (that was a joke). If you're hearing a joke in a Las Vegas night club, be prepared to hear anything - no matter how inappropriate it may seem. Unfortunately, all jokes cannot be politically correct to all the people all the time. A joke is likely to offend someone. Everyone has a different sense of humor. Not everyone laughs at the same thing. What one person finds funny, may cause another to walk out of the room. The best jokes always have an element of truth. The funniest jokes are 99.9% true. Some jokes cross the boundaries of time, and will always get a laugh. Some of the best jokes I've heard are about everyday life - kids, husbands and wives, senior citizens, In-laws, etc. OK enough of this serious talk. Let's get on with it. Now I never claimed to be a comedian or come up with good original jokes, but I've surely heard enough in my life to fill a dozen books. This is definitely a book for the mature joke connoisseur. It's all here - all types of joke subjects, including political, religious, ethnic, animals, economic class, children, seniors, families, men, women, blondes, sexual preference, one liners, doctors, and don’t forget lawyers. Now sit back, relax everything except your expectations, and be prepared to belly laugh yourself into hysteria.
