A Prairie Home Companion Pretty Good Joke Book, Revised & Expanded {2nd Edition} (2000)

by Garrison Keillor

Nonfiction. Humor (Nonfiction.) HTML:

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.

A lot of jokes, most of them funny, used on the Prairie Home Companion joke show. This will bring a smile to the face.

Pretty Good Joke Book. HighBridge Company, St. Paul, MN, 2000. A collection of jokes from the Prairie Home Companion joke shows. Pretty funny. Is there another word for ``synonym?''

Droll as its title, pure Garrison Keillor. ( )

The New York Times came out with a big story in the spring of 2005 saying flatly that The Joke Is Dead.
A clear conscience is the sign of a bad memory.
