"Rich like a Rothschild" asks Jews what they would do if they were as rich as Baron Rothschild, the legendary financier whose daughters took piano lessons from Frederic Chopin. I first read the Polish version of this book in Warsaw. It was the first collection of Jewish humor printed in democratic Poland since the collapse of Communism in 1989. Jews were persecuted in Europe for centuries. Many fled to Poland, where they found freedom of worship. By 1850, more than three quarters of all Jews in the world lived inside the borders of old Poland (before it had been partitioned between Russia, Prussia and Austria). In some communities the dominant language was Yiddish. While preserving their own traditions, Polish Jews enriched the cultures of the world with great scholars, writers, and musicians such as Artur Rubinstein and Wanda Landowska. Many Polish Jews settled in the United States of America. Hitler's Nazi Germany destroyed Poland's Jewish culture almost completely, and now only a few fragments remain. Yet, we are witnessing a revival of interest in that culture. A major Museum is being created, groups are forming for joint studies, Jewish schools are opening, and traditional Jewish restaurants are popular. Christian Poles and visitors from abroad are learning Hebrew, playing klezmer music, and studying Jewish culture. Jewish humor is a bridge to the past. These jokes, dating to 19th century Tsarist Russia, may be the only Polish collection so far to be translated into English. Jewish humor was always popular in Poland and throughout the world, because it's sharp wit is softened by warmth and wisdom. It makes us laugh while it reminds us that life has dangers which call for faith and spirit to survive another day. It makes fun of religion and free-thinking, oppression and survival, poverty and riches, war and marriage, and it does so without anger or malice. The world needs more of that. Jewish humor reflects the soul of Jewish people with their long history, religion and traditions. It varies with the societies in which they lived. And that is why the humor of Jews in Poland is special. This book evokes a society of people killed only because they were who they were, Polish Jews. They were murdered in Nazi death camps, and their ashes were dumped into unnamed pits. Yet, we deny the Holocaust a total victory over these victims when we remember them. Their humor is the perfect monument to their memory. It confirms their decision to remain Jews even when they were exiled from their country. It shows their loyalty to their laws and religion, their intelligence, their skills in business, their education, frugality and generosity. We see that they lived worthy lives, full of hope, even in times of injustice and oppression.

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.
