Students would submit jokes in a cardboard box, appropriately named
the "dry box."Lanehart would choose five jokes from the box to read
to his students. They would then judge them on a scale of 1-10,
according to the dryness of the joke. The winner of the best joke
won a brown paper towel. Lanehart saved nearly all of the jokes,
and these have been the source of his books. This is the last of
the four book series. Lanehart has previously written The Dry Off
Book 1: The Mysteriously Silly Solo Edition, The Dry Off Book 2:
The Dynamically Dumb Duo Edition, and The Dry Off Book 3.0 for
Smarties. This final book, The Not So Dry Off Book 4: the
Critically Ashamed Insensitive Edition is a slight departure from
the others. Most of the jokes are similar to those in the other
three books. In this book, every joke is illustrated with clip art,
and contains some jokes that were never read to students in a
middle school classroom. There are long jokes, short jokes, and
some that might be offensive to a sensitive reader. Thus the name
of the book. The cover resembles the brown paper towels the joke
winners would receive So, enjoy the humor, do not take them
seriously, and have some fun with the final book of the series.

Die geliefde dominee Barend Vos se sketse oor die lewe van ’n predikant en sy gesin in ’n plattelandse gemeente het tot op hede in vyf bundels verskyn. Dié sketse verskyn die afgelope tien jaar elke maand in die tydskrif LIG, met illustrasies deur Fred Mouton.
In Liefdegroete, Grootseun word ’n dertigtal van Vos se Grootseun-stukke wat die afgelope jare in Lig verskyn het, byeen gebring as keur van die meer as 100 wat sedert sy laaste versameling verskyn het. Elke rubriek word aangebied as ’n brief wat deur “Grootseun” geskryf word aan sy ouers. Die sketse het meestal ’n sterk humoristiese aanslag en gefokus op ’n plattelandse kerkgemeenskap waarvolgens “Grootseun” die Jongdominee van die gemeente is. Die ruimte is dus plattelands, kerklik en geskryf met ’n deernisvolle aanbod wat eie is aan Vos se skryfstyl.
In this book, there are puzzles to solve, riddles to unravel,
tongue twisters to untwist and lots of jokes too. Look for Bin
Laden (or Bin Baby) among all kinds of weird and wonderful
characters, and in all sorts of places, and The Posse, Bin
Ladketeers, NSA Agent Jimmy Dorch, Patty Hurst and Moonie too!Since
the CIA, Interpol, the National Security Agency and the Defense
Intelligence Agency have spent zillions of dollars and still
haven't had any luck so far, we thought we'd give You the chance to
find the world's Number One Most Wanted Man.
This beautifully illustrated book brings together sixty essential life lessons inspired by the infinite wisdom of trees.
Trees do not have brains to think with, or nervous systems that cause them to feel things, and yet they are undeniably clever. From their ability to adapt, to their understanding of the strength of networks and mutually beneficial relationships, they put us to shame with their natural ability to thrive, even when they find themselves in less than ideal environments.
This beautifully illustrated book brings together sixty universal life lessons taken from the infinite wisdom of trees. We learn about the importance of forward-planning from the Chinese bamboo tree, which seemingly doesn't grow at all for the first four years of its life, before shooting 80 feet upwards in six weeks; in those four years, it is in fact growing an amazingly strong underground root network to support sudden growth. And acacias, who look out for each other by producing a gas when they're being nibbled on by herbivores to warn their nearby friends.
From the importance of patience, to drawing strength from others, to weathering the storm, to dealing with life's most persistent irritants - this is a celebration of the heroes of the forest, and an essential companion for dipping into when we need a little inspiration.
As D:Ream famously sang in their 1994 chart-topper, "Things Can
Only Get Bigger" ... and here, to prove how right they were is the
2019 Viz annual The Pieman's Wig. Hot on the heels of last year's
biggest ever Viz annual, this year's is even biggester, with 220
pages of * Cartoons: Fat Slags, Roger Mellie, 8 Ace, Mrs Brady, Big
Vern and many more * Articles: Sex Robots, the Joy of Flatpack
Furniture, Stephen Hawkins' A Brief History of Time Travel and
Who's Who in the 1970s School Playground. * Adventure stories: Pest
Force Alaska, Tiny Cox the Pocket Physicist, Drill Sergeant Jumbo
and The Binman that Fear Forgot. Plus more hilarious letters, Top
Tips and spoof ads than you can shake a stick 10% bigger than last
year's at. Now in its 33rd year, the Viz annual is as much a part
of the festive season as the Queen's Speech*, overcooked sprouts,
and ironic Christmas jumpers. And The Pieman's Wig is funnier than
all of those things. Except for ironic Christmas jumpers, which
really are very funny indeed. *Her majesty still alive at the time
of going to press.
