GOTHAM'S GREATEST GAGS— When it comes to the finest, the far-outest, and the just plain funniest, the jokes start here—in the saloon capital of the world, New York, New York. Jimmy Pritchard, author and veteran NYC bartender, has heard them all from patrons across the oak. In these comedic cocktails, no one is spared, not the Irish or the elderly, not lawyers or blondes, not the handicapped, not sex-crazed animals, not even God. Jimmy brings you over 400 of the best in the house, stirred, shaken, and served inside this one-of-a-kind collection that is downright intoxicating. THE ONLY BOOK THAT TELLS YOU... -about two Irishmen who walked out of a bar -what has four legs and chases cats -the difference between a bitch and a slut -how to clear out an Iraqi bingo game -the most popular man in a nudist colony -the most popular woman in a nudist colony -why Viagra is like Disney World -the one about the Polish kidnappers ...and hundreds more jokes, riddles, stories, and one-liners
They're all here! the hooker, the drunk, the proctologist, the little old lady, the midget, the travelling salesman, the redneck, Helen Keller, the Jewish mother...Jackie 'The Joke Man' Martling knows them all and more. Here are the gems from the private files of the head writer and cast member of THE HOWARD STERN SHOW, the phenomenally popular radio show from America which was the inspiration for Chris Evans. Infamous for knowing every joke in the universe, Martling has dared audiences to start a joke he couldn't finish. Now he takes no prisoners, spares no ethnic or social group, and exhibits not one ounce of good taste in this wildly offensive, all-inclusive and outrageously funny collection of dirty jokes.

The ability to laugh, especially the ability to laugh at ourselves, is a uniquely human characteristic. One of the greatest sources of humor can be religion, for religion offers us an opportunity to laugh at ourselves at our most serious. And Jesus taught us that we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously. "Unless you become like little children," he said, "you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven." Author Tom Sheridan begins by discussing the importance of laughter and the relationship of humor to religion before launching into the hilarious jokes.

Come for the humour, stay for the insights' Arianna Huffington Humour is a superpower. If you're not using it, the joke's on you. When we're kids we laugh all the time.
