Jokes, Jokes and more Jokes

featuring one liners, lawyer jokes, religious jokes and more

The 6th edition of the perennially popular Pretty Good Joke Book features a treasure of over 2,200 jokes from Garrison Keillor and the cast of public radio's A Prairie Home Companion.

A treasury of hilarity from Garrison Keillor and the cast of public radio's A Prairie Home Companion.

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 new 6th edition of the Pretty Good Joke Book is everything the first five 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 over 200 new and updated jokes, the latest edition promises countless giggles, chortles, and guffaws anyone -- fans of the radio show or not -- will enjoy.

From the introduction from Garrison

In the Chatterbox Cafe in Lake Wobegon, if you are new in town, the odd guy who married the farmer's daughter, you might sit with the group of gentlemen telling jokes and then, when the opportunity presents itself, you offer a joke and if it's new and you tell it well and don't flounder around in the setup but tell it cleanly and simply with not too much topspin, remembering this is Minnesota and we like it dry, and if you tell it gracefully, not overselling the joke, you'll be welcome here. No need for a resume or testimonials. If you can tell a joke, you're okay.
Jokes are democratic. Telling one right has nothing to do with having money or being educated. It's a knack, like hammering a nail straight. Anyone can learn it, and it's useful in many situations. You can go through life and never need math or physics but the ability to tell a joke is often handy. Jokes are good for your health.
HERE are a few that will make you the king or queen of your social circle, if you tell them right!
