The Penguin Dictionary of Jokes, Wisecracks, Quips and Quotes by Fred Metcalf
Looking for a good joke? Searching for an icebreaker for that after-dinner speech? Or are you just in need of a few laughs? Then stop! Your search is over. What you have here is probably the finest, funniest, most up-to-date collection of gags, rib-ticklers and plain silly one liners ever to find themselves squeezed inside the covers of a book. Organized by subject matter (from Absence - via Insults - to Writers) and containing side-splitters stolen from such wits as Groucho Marx, Orson Welles, Mark Twain and P J O'Rourke, among many, many others, this book will ensure that people will feel compelled to laugh at you wherever you go.
Fred Metcalf was born in Yorkshire and educated in Devon. He has worked as a freelance writer in London, Sydney and Los Angeles. He is also the editor of THE PENGUIN DICTIONARY OF MODERN HUMOROUS QUOTATIONS.
