Synopsis

A treasury of hilarity from one of America’s favorite radio shows.

A guy walks into a bar. Eight Canada Geese walk into a bar. A termite jumps up on the bar and asks, “Where is the bar tender?” Drum roll.

The Fifth Edition of the perennially popular Pretty Good Joke Book is everything the first four were and more. More puns, one-liners, light bulb jokes, knock-knock jokes, and third-grader jokes (have you heard the one about Elvis Parsley?). More religion jokes, political jokes, lawyer jokes, blonde jokes, and jokes in questionable taste (Why did the urologist lose his license? He got in trouble with his peers). More jokes about chickens, relationships, and senior moments (The nice thing about Alzheimer’s is you can enjoy the same jokes again and again).

It all started back in 1996, when A Prairie Home Companion fans laughed themselves silly during the first Joke Show. The broadcast was such a hit that it became an almost-annual gagfest. Then fans wanted to read the jokes, share them, and pass them around, and the first Pretty Good Joke Book was born. With 362 new jokes (more or less), the latest edition promises countless giggles, chortles, and guffaws anyone fans of the radio show or not will enjoy.

From AudioFile

Fans of Garrison Keillor's radio program will love this collection of jokes harvested from his annual Joke Show in April. Sound effects and genuine audience laughter capture the best of the cheerful old-time radio atmosphere. As a comedian, Keillor has a well-honed sense of timing and a facility with the bucolic language of Minnesota, both of which delight his audiences. These tapes would please anyone with a sense of humor or provide a pleasant interlude for listeners of more somber audiobooks.
