The Big Book of Jewish Humor |
Editorial Review:
Two rival businessmen meet in the Warsaw train station. "Where are you going?" says the first man.
"To Minsk," says the second.
"To Minsk, eh? What a nerve you have! I know you're telling me you're going to Minsk because you want me to think that you're really going to Pinsk. But it so happens that I know you really are going to Minsk. So why are you lying to me?"
Four men are walking in the desert.
The German says, "I'm tired and thirsty. I must have a beer."
The Italian says, "I'm tired and thirsty. I must have wine."
The Mexican says, "I'm tired and thirsty.
I must have tequila."
The Jew says, "I'm tired and thirsty. I must have diabetes."

It Makes You Laugh, It Makes You Think: 
In a way, we don't ask much of books that tell us they're going to be funny. We want them to make us laugh. But a book of Jewish humor has to do more than that. We have to think. We have to feel the anguish and the joys of Jewish life. We have to smell the pickles and see the relatives. This book is an absolutely fabulous collection of wonderful jokes. I think in some ways a book like this is a fascinating introduction to Jewish life.

Verry, verry funny:
I purchased this book as a gift for my brother. Before I repackaged it to send, I scanned several pages and found the stories, jokes and side bars very funny so, I ordered a second copy for myself.
If you're looking for a place to discover the history of Jewish humor, the very early comedians who developed this medium, quotes to use in any speach you may make or are just looking for good laughs, this is the book for you.
You don't have to be Jewish!:
For anyone exposed to American TV and movies (which I have been since the 50's) this is entertainment mother's milk. We've all become a little Jewish (comedically speaking) and I, at least, am decidedly better for it.
Book of Humor: 
I liked the book; I loved the price. It was used but in very good condition.
