If you've ever heard a Jewish, Blond, Italian, Irish, Blond, Libyan, Catholic, Mexican, Polish, Australian, Norwegian, or an Essex Girl, Newfie, Mother-in-Law, or joke aimed at a minority, this book of Mike Young jokes is for you. While this book, appears to be aimed at a specific group, it's not. It's designed to show how jokes are funny regardless of the target-even if it's you. In this not-so-original book, The Best Ever Book of Mike Young Jokes; Lots and Lots of Jokes Specially Repurposed for You-Know-Who, Mark Young takes a whole lot of tired, worn out jokes and makes them funny again. This book of Mike Young jokes is so unoriginal, it's actually original. And, if you don't burst out laughing (or at least get a smile on your face), from at least one accountant joke in this book, there's something wrong with you. For example: Why does Mike Young wear slip-on shoes? You need an IQ of at least 4 to tie a shoelace. *** An Mike Young and Diane Young were sitting around the breakfast table one lazy Sunday morning. Mike Young turned to Diane Young and said: When I die, I want you to sell all my stuff. Why would you want me to do that?, asked Diane Young. I figure that you'll eventually remarry, and I don't want some asshole using my stuff, replied Mike Young. Diane Young said: What makes you think I'd marry another asshole? *** Why did Mike Young two jackets when he painted his house? The instructions on the can said: Put on two coats. *** Why does Mike Young laugh three times when he hears a joke? Once when it is told to him, once when it is explained to him, and once when he understands it.

An old man living at the retirement home was attracted to an old lady, also living at the home. One evening after lights out, he has a couple shots of Scotch and sneaks down the hall. Fortified by his liquid courage he says, "I wanna fuck you." "Well," she says, "everyone else is asleep, so, what the hell." "How do you like to do it?" "I really like it when a man goes down on me," she says. He lifts up her nightie, takes off her panties and starts yodeling in the gully. He comes up about 15 seconds later with a disgusted look on his face. "I'm sorry, I just can't do this. Something smells fucking rotten down there." She said, "It must be my arthritis." He said, "You can't get arthritis in your vagina, and even so it wouldn't cause that horrible smell." She said, "The arthritis is in my shoulder. I can't wipe." What's 60 feet long and smells like piss? The conga line in a nursing home. An older couple makes an appointment to see their doctor. "What's wrong?" asks the doctor. "We're from a different generation than you and we have problems talking about sex," says the lady. "Perhaps we could show you?" The doctor curses silently under his breath, but then remembers his Hippocratic Oath, and says, "Certainly." So they strip naked, hop up on the examining table and fuck like teenagers. They get dressed and the man says, "Huh, it didn't happen that time. Perhaps we should make an appointment for next week." They come back week after week after week: fucking like bunny rabbits every time until the doctor says, "What's really going on here?" The lady says, "When we do it at my house, my husband beats us up. When we do it at his house his wife throws cold water on us. A nice motel costs $80; a fleabag hotel costs $40, but you have a $12 co-pay and my insurance covers the rest." A minister married a considerably younger woman. On their wedding night he excused himself and went into the bathroom to slip into some pajamas. He exited the bathroom and saw his new wife naked and spread-eagled on the bed. "Darling," he said, "I thought we'd start our married life with me on your knees at the foot of the bed." "Okay. But that position always gives me gas." An elderly couple is hit by a bus and goes to heaven. St. Peter ushers them in and gives them a guided tour of their eternal resting place. "Here's the golf course. There's the swimming pool. There's your condo. If you need anything press the button for room service and an angel will deliver it." St. Peter leaves and the old man turns to his wife and says, "Screw you " "What's your problem? This is fantastic." "Yes, it is. And if it wasn't for those vitamins and all that fucking oat bran you fed me I'd have been here 15 years ago." Three generations of the Collins family were getting ready to tee off one Sunday when the threesome was joined by a beautiful, young female golfer. Before they could introduce themselves the young lady said, "Listen, I'm a two handicap so I don't need any of your patronizing petty male-chauvinist-bullshit advice. So just leave me the fuck alone." "Okay," said Grandpa Collins. "Okay," said Mr. Collins. "Okay," said Junior. The foursome teed off and played the first 17 holes. On the par five 18th the female golfer blasted a 290 yard tee shot, then hit a long iron to the fringe. The Collins boys reached the green a few shots later. She said, "I'm sorry if I was rude earlier, but if I sink this I'll break par for the first time in my life. I need some help, and," she added, "if your advice pays off I'll give my coach the best knee-buckling blowjob they've ever had." "Well," said Junior, "I'd pitch-and-run with a seven iron." "I'd putt it," said Mr. Collins, "and let the natural break run it up to the hole." Grandpa dropped his pants and waved his dick, "Pick it up. It's a gimme." Many Many Many jokes more inside

This Book was written in a funny manner to not only touch upon some old school ways but to also make us laugh, cry, and think about how some of the things we do impact kids, family, friends, neighbors, and society in general. Some stuff is made up and some stuff is just based upon what I have seen over the years. This book doesn't target any race because all races can be Ghetto. For Ghetto is not about Colors, Black, White, or Pink, but about how you act, how you live, and how you think. This book is not meant to disrespect anyone, it is just meant for laughs and to make you think so if I offend anyone please accept my apologies.

The idea of the Dryoff Book Series came from a joke contest he held in his classroom on Monday mornings. Students would submit jokes in a cardboard box placed in the classroom, appropriately named the "dry box." Lanehart would choose five jokes from the box to read to the class, who would then grade them on a scale of 1-10, according to the dryness of the joke. The student whose joke received the highest number at the end of the day would receive a new, straight from the custodian's office, never been used, brown paper towel, autographed with their name and the words "Dry Off." The idea behind the paper towel was that you never knew when you might have to dry off. Lanehart has written The Dryoff Book 1: The Mysteriously Silly Solo Edition, The Dryoff Book 2: The Dynamically Dumb Duo Edition, and now The Dryoff Book 3.0 for Smarties. These books consist of a compilation of all of the jokes that have been submitted. He has tried to engage his readers young and old, to enjoy the refreshing and innocent feeling dry humor can bestow. He has meticulously illustrated many of the jokes with clipart to give the jokes more of a "dry feeling." This is the third of four books, with The Not So Dryoff Book 4: The Critically Ashamed Insensitive Edition as the last in the series.

"While debating Sir Winston on the House of Commons, Lady Astor says, "Sir Winston, if I were your wife, I should poison your tea."Sir Winston replies, "Madam, if I were your husband, I would drink it.""

In 1066, a Battle of Hastings ensued in England, eventually causing two languages to merge and form modern English. In "The Joke's on Me, " English language aficionado Jim Purdy provides an entertaining tutorial of jokes, explanations, and associated vocabulary based on this historical transition.

Purdy bases most of his jokes on sex, politics, and religion, depending on the unexpected as he leads serious students of languages to the "other side" of English. While including jokes not intended for the easily offended, Purdy relies on the experiences he acquired during his frequent travels throughout Europe as he shares jokes as diverse as the world around us. Purdy spares no one from his humorous jabs, including Lady Astor and Sir Winston, the Lone Ranger, and the Pope.

"The Joke's on Me" is a step-by-step guide that will encourage both novice and experienced students of languages to gain a new appreciation of the American sense of humor while simultaneously enhancing their vocabulary and linguistics abilities.
