The Penguin Dictionary of Jokes by Fred Metcalf

A collection of gags, rib-ticklers and plain silly one-liners. Organised by subject matter (from Absence - via Insults - to Writers), it contains side-splitters stolen from such wits as Groucho Marx, Orson Welles, Mark Twain and P J O'Rourke.
Fred Metcalf was born in Yorkshire and educated in Devon. He has worked as a cartoonist, a scriptwriter and a speechwriter in London and Los Angeles. He has written jokes for Morecambe and Wise, David Frost and Kenny Everett. He is also the editor of The Penguin Dictionary of Modern Humorous Quotations.
