Amazing jokes and puns to keep you laaughing till' you cry. This is an intellingant book filled with jokes that are actually finny. not like the half-empty pages and stupid jokes in some other books ( )

A joke book from another age, when kids were expected to have an education: historical and biblical allusions are just as frequent here as silly puns. Despite the name, this book is more a compendium of fun stuff, not just jokes but puzzles, limericks and other comic verse, shaggy dog stories, droodles, and more. Not like today’s cheapo joke books with half-empty pages and reams of weak lolly-stick-reject one-liners. Best of all, “scribbled all over”, as the back-cover blurb puts it, “by the inspired Quentin Blake.” ( )
