Product Description

Why are most joke books so terrible? Why do they always resort to the same tired stereotypes, awful puns, and contrived situations?

Answer: Because good jokes—really good jokes—are as rare as precious gems. Writer and humorist Don Steinberg was not interested in compiling a thousand gags into a giant paperback, because he knew most of the content would be dreck. Instead, he set out to compile the very best of the best, the cream of the crop, the Jokes Every Man Should Know.

Here are jokes for business trips, blind dates, and family get-togethers. Here are eight jokes that will make kids laugh and nineteen jokes that are not at all suitable for children. Here are two jokes about gorillas, three jokes about doctors, one joke involving an alligator and oral sex, eight jokes about heaven, and the world's only funny knock-knock joke. Packaged in a sleek hardcover format, Jokes Every Man Should Know has the perfect punch line for every occasion.

Customer Reviews

Mandatory guy book
The jokes in this book are perfect for those times when the fish aren't biting or your friends are watching you cook burgers. With a little discretion the jokes are OK for most anyone. I had the wife in tears more than once. I'm back to buy a copy for my son-in-law.

Jokes Every Man Should Tell
95% of the jokes in this book are classic, very funny and tellable. Easy reading, one joke per page with a history behind some of them. Well worth the investment. A rabbi and a priest...

made my dad laugh
My father loves jokes, and so when he was recently hospitalized and not in the best of spirits, this book was the perfect pick-me-up. Sure, some of the jokes are not exactly appropriate for a daughter to give a father, but I was naive due to not being able to preview this online first. He still cracked up and had a good time reading through it. The only downside? Some of the jokes are really familiar/common ones, but still funny.
