Need a laugh? Who doesn't? Look inside for hundreds of jokes that will make you grin, giggle and guffaw. Although they won't make you blush or squirm from embarrassment, they might make you groan. These are the kinds of jokes you can share with your kids, your maiden aunt, neighbours and even your priest (if he or she has a sense of humour). This book collects some of the best jokes in the world, from many sources, comedy shows, TV shows and my mates down the pub. OK, some have been 'cleaned', but the humor is still there which, I guess, shows that you do not need bad language to make you laugh. BUT political correctness and I do not get on well, so if you insist on calling a spade a pedally and manually operated ground reforming device, then that's your problem. To me a spade is a spade - can you dig it? You will find hundreds of jokes and riddles for all occasions. In fact you will find 645 jokes for all occasions. There are howlers, groaners, one-liners, quotes, foot-in-mouth, and some beyond all comprehension. Plus 62 brain-teasing riddles to get the old grey matter frothing. Go on - dip in and brighten up your day - or someone else's,
