The Official Jewish Joke Book
The Official Jewish Joke Book, by Larry Wilde. The latest e-book release in The Larry Wilde Joke Book Series by Laugh.com!
Comedy experts have long discussed, theorized and analyzed the “Jewish sense of humor.” Some say it has been the guiding light through the dark centuries of prejudice and pogroms.
It seems as though not other people in the history of mankind have contributed more generously to the advancement of the jest. Much of the laughter in today's entertainment media is provided by Jewish comedy writers and comedians.
Jews have a heritage of joke-making. It has been the pin by which they have pricked the thick-walled bubble of adversity. It has also been their chief means of expressing the gaiety and exuberant lust for life that is so typically Jewish.
Jewish jokes can be acidly satiric, but for the most part they are full of gentle tolerance for human frailty. Many are tongue-in-cheek slaps at avarice, hypocrisy and smug stupidity, but almost always, they are the fun-loving means to laugh off a heart-ache.
This collection of quips and gags and stories typify the “Jewish sense of humor.”
