Product Description

"Man Walks Into A Bar" is a one-stop shop for anyone who likes to hear and tell jokes. The jokes are ordered thematically - wives, husbands, doctors, lawyers, the French, the Germans, jokes about nuns, jokes about monkeys, the lot. There are also regular panels which group jokes by type too - Essex girls, changing a lightbulb etc. Our material will turn you into the toast of your local pub or make you loathed in your own home - remember, it is all in the telling. From the sublimely erudite to stuff Frank Carson would turn down (the book has a 'world's worst jokes' section), this book can service you with every joke you'll ever need.

Customer Reviews

Wow
Quite simply, as the title says, wow. This has GOT to be the largest collection of short jokes I have ever seen. The sheer number of them in here is funny in itself! Let's take a random page for example. Page 382 has... fifteen jokes on it, and it's not one of the fuller pages, either! The text is small, too, so they really have crammed in as much as they can. Having so many jokes means there had to be some order to it, and they've accomplished that nicely with sections alphabetically ordered according to subject. That way if you need, say, a golfing joke for when you're on the course, or a relationships joke for a wedding speech, you'll find the part of the book in seconds. You may also think that so many jokes must be of bad quality, but they're not. They're all really good! Bear in mind that this isn't a kid's joke book, but that doesn't change the fact it's a damned good collection, and thoroughly deserves the five-star rating.

Funniest Book Ever
I have not even finished this book but I agree that it is the best joke book in the world.Whenever I find a really good one, which is all the time, I tell them and they always laugh until they can't breath. Just like that joke from Monty Python And Now For Something Completley Different, the one where when you read it, you die of so much laughter. My favourite one is Page 2 Joke 4.

Good Collection Of Jokes
I found the collection of jokes very good. I know a lot of jokes and there are plenty of new ones here. I particularly like the longer jokes. Many with a good punch line. More suited to UK sense of humour as quite a lot refer to local customs, but there is something for everybody.
