Good read but read multiple times
This is a good read, but I would definitely read it multiple times in between other books and this will keep up with my humor and learnings about the humor present in me and get better at it
It’s super funny
People stop being mean this man’s he’s trying to to make the best of jokes in the world
The jokes were funny...
I thought I would find a book on why jokes are funny, interesting. This book was not interesting to me. I'm not sure whether that is due to the topic being less interesting than I thought it would be, or if it's due to the writer's style of writing. About half way through l gave up and just skimmed through to read the jokes. I enjoyed those!
