Review # 1 was written on 2016-05-26 00:00:00 Chris Held Garrison Keillor is one of the few bona fide American intellectuals today. From 1974 through last year, his weekly radio program A Prairie Home Companion has entertained and educated Americans by preserving and promoting the national culture through music, humor, nostalgia, and its mythologies. For the last 17 years or so of the program, there was an annual Pretty Good Jokes program filled with laughs. This book is a collection of some of the jokes featured on these episodes. They include old jokes, variations on them, jokes sent in by listeners, and many original ones. Here are some hilarious examples: questionable jokes Yo Mama jokes bad jokes religion and sex jokes lawyer jokes lightbulb jokes jokes about pain, suffering, doctors and age Drill Sargent Jokes Puns knock knock jokes lightbulbs and more jokes

Review # 2 was written on 2012-11-24 00:00:00 Charles McLaughlin I really enjoyed this book. I'm giving it five stars, but I really should add a disclaimer: the five stars are not to be taken as an endorsement of every joke. Some jokes are in poor taste, and some I just didn't get. That said, so many of the jokes that I *did* get were so side-splittingly funny that they were well worth the ones that fell flat. I can't remember when I had such an enjoyable time reading a book. I laughed out loud so often, reading by myself, that I was half afraid my family would hear me from the other room and have me committed.
