Over 2,200 Jokes from America’s favorite live radio show 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 Sixth Edition of the perennially popular 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.

The Wicked Wit of Queen Elizabeth II

Genre: Biography & Autobiography
ISBN: 0451492277

A charming collection of quotes and anecdotes celebrating the late Queen Elizabeth II, the incomparable British monarch. When we think of a queen, we probably picture a serious, dignified personage complete with majestic hat and matching handbag. But The Wicked Wit of Queen Elizabeth II reveals a side of the monarch the public rarely saw, her healthy sense of humor: sometimes silly, sometimes sarcastic—and occasionally unintentional (to guitar legend Eric Clapton: “Have you been playing long?”)! This is a delightful celebration of Queen Elizabeth II's humor revealed through her own words on topics from family and travel to pets and hobbies, as well as stories from the royal household of Britain’s longest-serving monarch. In addition to the queen, other royals get in their two cents, including the famously filterless Prince Philip and the acerbic Princess Margaret, as well as Prince Charles and Princess Anne.

In the Kingdom of Sholveria the once happy and contented royal household is thrown into shambolic uproar. Jimskinov has been kidnapped, the little princes are on his trail . . . and the Potion has GONE! There are plenty of snot-licking, foot-stamping, lip-smacking giggle moments as the dynamic Dukes and Perfect Princesses join forces with a host of glorious characters to outwit evil Prince John to once again restore harmony. “The children squirmed as Maria’s whole body began to shake. She was like a volcano that was about to erupt, but somehow and very unusual for Maria, she didn’t erupt. For although she wanted to rant and rave and screech and squabble and stamp her feet and wave her arms, she knew that at this time it was important, if their plan was to succeed, to stay calm and quiet.”
