Excellent joke book!:
My family and I enjoyed reading the jokes in this book aloud and we all guffawed at them.
It is SO funny:
I read through it the first time and thought it was funny--but after reading it again and again, I laugh even more. Having grown up in New York and worked for and known many Jewish people, I have a mental picture of them saying these very same things. I told my brother I would send it to him when I finished reading it, but I'm keeping it and will probably buy another one for him. Catherine Seitz
Four Dreidels (out of five):
The book itself didn't make much sense, but anything that mentions Barbra Streisand is Kosher with me. I actually peed all over myself (twice). Hysterical I tell you.
I Grew Up with This!:
This is funny stuff. I grew up with this and its good to see this stuff in print. It's great reading. It's a real goof when you've got your head in this book laughing it off and you know you are getting some strange looks. This I've got to laugh twice at!
