I'm 41 years old and don't often share my love for Prarie Home Companion with friends; the number of people my age that enjoy the show are few and far between. In fact, I was one of the youngest people in the audience when I took my mother to see their L.A. show a few years ago. All of which is a shame, because Prarie Home Companion is a great program, especially their highly-praised joke shows that come round every year or so. Wisely, they decided to put out a collection of the jokes heard in each program and the collection is well worth your time and money. I've been enjoying the jokes for the past month or so, often trading lines with my daughter, who absolutely loves the puns section. The book is broken down into various sections, ranging from politics, marriage, puns, kid's jokes, off-color humor, technology, blonds, nationalities, and even a "your momma is so fat" section. I'd say about 60-70% of the book has top quality humor while the remaining 30-40% is merely just good. If you're in need of a laugh, you can't go wrong in picking up a copy of this book. Laughter is sometimes the best medicine.

We can't stop laughing at the jokes in this book, every joke in the world, old and new. Depressed? This book will fix that.

These jokes are hilarious and will keep you rolling for the length of the 2 CDs - and you *will* want to listen to them over and over again. You'll feel compelled to share the jokes with friends and co-workers - but you'll request they hear them from the source - as your joke-telling skills just won't match those of the master joke-tellers. Nevermind the NPR Public Laughter Tapes - they are OK, but for real laughs, get the Pretty Good Jokes. You won't be disappointed!
If laughter is the best medicine, this will cure the sick!

Wonderful humor -- hundreds of good old jokes, the kind folks used to tell at bars and around office water coolers . . . a great part of the folk heritage of America, and just plain funny .... well told by Garrison Keillor & guests such as Paula Poundstone, Roy Blount, etc. . . . I bought the CD version which I'd recommend, since it's a more stable medium than cassette and this is a "keeper"
