Great jokes not only make us laugh--they make us think. They very
often contain important pieces of wisdom and insight that we are
more willing to hear when they're delivered with a laugh. Life Is a
Joke: 100 Life Lessons (with Punch Lines) includes 100 hilarious
jokes along with the messages that you may or may not realize they
carry. For instance, a joke about a tribal mystic and the weather
service becomes a pointed parable about being very careful in
choosing which experts to trust (or vote for). A joke about a
therapist and his patient offers an invaluable insight about the
vital importance of open communication. A salesman, a clerk, and a
manager find a magic lamp--and learn that whoever speaks first
doesn't necessarily win. Written by the brothers who created the
phenomenally successful Uncle John's Bathroom Reader series, each
entry in Life Is a Joke is contained in a two-page spread. There's
an epigram previewing the theme of the joke and lesson, a brief
precis of the lesson the joke teaches, and a few takeaway points
with ideas for how readers can apply the lesson to their own lives.
