Synopsis:

A joyous and giftable collection of Jewish humor from every source imaginable: literature, jokes, children’s books, magazines, comics, newspapers, and others—from Mad Magazine to Philip Roth.

Bursting with quick wit and hilarity, this definitive, illustrated volume is beloved by countless readers and considered the must-have book for comedy fans and anyone looking for a good laugh. All the greats are here—from the Marx Brothers and Lenny Bruce to Shel Silverstein and Neil Simon—plus plenty of obscure but still laugh-out-loud comics, as well as literary and historical humor.

From the Back Cover:

Two rival businessmen meet in the Warsaw train station. "Where are you going?" says the first man.

"To Minsk," says the second.

"To Minsk, eh? What a nerve you have! I know you're telling me you're going to Minsk because you want me to think that you're really going to Pinsk. But it so happens that I know you really are going to Minsk. So why are you lying to me?"

Four men are walking in the desert.

The German says, "I'm tired and thirsty. I must have a beer."

The Italian says, "I'm tired and thirsty. I must have wine."

The Mexican says, "I'm tired and thirsty.

I must have tequila."

The Jew says, "I'm tired and thirsty. I must have diabetes."
