From the cocreator of the celebrated Big Book of Jewish Humor comes
a "funny...geezer-licious" (Jack Handey, author of Deep Thoughts)
collection of jokes about growing older that makes fun of memory
loss, marriages, medicine, sex, the afterlife, and much more--a
perfect gift for almost anyone who was born before you were.
Growing older can be unsettling and surprising. (How on earth did
this happen? Where did the years go?) So what better way to deal
with this new stage of life than to laugh about your new reality?
Die Laughing includes more than enough jokes (not to mention
cartoons!) to let that laughter burst out. Whether it's dealing
with doctors, dating in one's seventies, or unexpected bodily
changes (not to mention funny noises), some things are easier to
face with a smile of recognition. That's why Die Laughing is the
perfect gift for your parents, anyone celebrating a significant
birthday, or any boomer with a sense of humor whose age begins with
a six or higher.

A modern, feminist take on the classic joke book to amuse and
empower women. If a tree falls in a forest and only a woman is
around to hear it, does it make a sound? We’ll never know. The
male forest ranger said it was a “she said, tree saidâ€
situation. Four comedy writers flip the script on outdated, sexist
joke formats while delivering sharp commentary about the everyday
sexism women and people of marginalized genders face. Building off
their viral McSweeney’s piece, the book arms readers with
humorous ammunition to deliver pointed blows to workplace
underminer Gregs and Neanderthal Uncle Larrys, or to share with
their aggrieved girlfriends. A cutting satire of the old-fashioned
sexist joke book, Jokes to Offend Men is a refreshing reclamation
of a tired form.

Works on Jewish humor and Jewish jokes abound today, but what
formed the basis for our contemporary notions of Jewish jokes? How
and when did these perceptions develop? In this groundbreaking
study and translation, noted humor and folklore scholar Elliott
Oring introduces us to the joke collections of Lippmann Moses
Büschenthal, an enlightened rabbi, and an unknown author writing
as "Judas Ascher." Originally published in German in 1812 and 1810,
these books include jokes and anecdotes that play on stereotypes.
The jokes depict Jews dealing with Gentiles who are bent on their
conversion, Jews encountering government officials and
institutions, newly propertied Jews attempting to demonstrate their
acquisition of artistic and philosophical knowledge, and Jews
engaged in trade and moneylending—often with the aim to defraud.
In these jokes we see the antecedents of modern Jewish humor, and
in Büschenthal's brief introduction we find perhaps the earliest
theory of the Jewish joke. Oring provides helpful annotations for
the jokes and contextualizing essays that examine the current state
of Jewish joke scholarship and the situation of the Jews in France
and Germany leading up to the periods when the two collections were
published. Intended to stimulate the search for even earlier
examples, Oring challenges us to confront the Jewish joke from a
genuine historical perspective.
