Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Great jokes not only make us laugh they make us think. They very often contain important pieces of wisdom and insight that we are more willing to hear when they're delivered with a laugh. Life Is a Joke includes 100 hilarious jokes along with the messages that you may or may not realise they carry. For instance, a joke about a tribal mystic and the weather service becomes a pointed parable about being very careful in choosing which experts to trust (or vote for). A joke about a therapist and his patient offers an invaluable insight about the vital importance of open communication. A salesman, a clerk, and a manager find a magic lamp and learn that whoever speaks first doesnt necessarily win. A great gift, and a great resource for those in search of anecdotes to use in speeches (these jokes come with the explanation preloaded), Life Is a Joke is an invaluable reminder that laughter is not only the best medicine its often the best teacher, as well. Great jokes not only make us laugh--they make us think. They very often contain important pieces of wisdom and insight that we are more willing to hear when they're delivered with a laugh. Life Is a Joke: 100 Life Lessons (with Punch Lines) includes 100 hilarious jokes along with the messages that you may or may not realize they carry.
