Good for a short joke , although some are a bit dated now.

Great Source for One-Liners

This book is a great source for humor.

Jacob Braude was a Judge of the Circuit Court in Cook County, Illinois for more than 35 years. During that time, he gained a reputation for his reservoir of anecdotes and humorous stories.

The book is divided into topics and the material is easily adaptable. I particularly like the definitions, which I find are a great source for humorous one-liners.

An old-fashioned joke book for speechmakers.
