There were these two buddies out walking their dogs, one with a Doberman pinscher and the other with a Chihuahua, when they smelled something delicious coming from a nearby restaurant.

The guy with the Doberman says to his friend, “Let’s go over to that restaurant and get something to eat.” The guy with the Chihuahua says, “ We can’t go in there. We’ve got dogs with us.” The buddy with the Doberman says, “Just follow my lead.” He puts on a pair of dark glasses and walks into the restaurant, when the restaurant owner comes up and says, “Sorry, pal, no pets allowed.” The man with the Doberman replies, “You don’t understand. This is my Seeing Eye dog.”

The owner, skeptical, says, “A Doberman pinscher?” The Doberman’s master says, “Yes, they’re using them now—they’re very good and they protect me from robbers, too.” The owner says, “ Come on in.”

When the man with the Chihuahua sees this, he puts on a pair of dark glasses and starts to walk in. Once again the restaurant owner says, “Sorry, pal, no pets allowed.” The guy with the Chihuahua says, “You don’t understand. This is my Seeing Eye dog.”

“A Chihuahua?” says the owner.

The man with the dog replies, “ A Chihuahua? They gave me a Chihuahua?!”

Customer Reviews

Very goofy!
This is the joke book of your dreams! It's as thick as a phonebook, and crammed full of jokes, knock-knocks, and funny stories. In addition, the book has a mess of silly cartoons, practical jokes, suggestions for would-be comedians, silly songs, and spotlights focusing on comedians, funny shows and so forth.

My kids picked out this book, and they love it. It is very goofy! Heck, they aren't the only ones that liked it; I pored over it, and pulled out wonderful jokes for a future speaking engagement. This is a wonderful book, one my entire family recommends to you!

You son will love it-- when you're 8 all the jokes are new
As third graders start to learn to manipulate language, jokes and puns are great teachers. Plus, nothing beats a good "Nyuk, Nyuk" with your buddies. My son took this with him to theatre camp and the gang enjoyed it during lunch and breaks. He really liked the features on famous funny people like Jim Carey. You may regret hearing the old jokes a million times, but for a good clean laugh, it's a winner.

some crude, rude jokes
Bought this book for my daycare group (6-11years). I ripped out several pages which were not appropriate for my group before giving it to them. I didn't like the one about the "pretty lady" who "farts quite loudly" or the one about a frog in the blender (red and green and goes 80 miles an hour). How about "everybody's doin' it...pickin' their nose and chewin'it". Most of these were in a section called " 'Snot Funny". The rest of the jokes were okay. Use your own judgment!
