THE OLD JOKE BOOK

Publisher: Viking

What has some impenetrably English jokes, riddles, and music hall wheezes in a frenzied, comic strip form? The Old Joke Book. What has chickens crossing roads, flies swimming in soup, and a character named Major Headache who's struck in the head repeatedly with a blunt object? The Old Joke Book. And now for an even harder one. Will kids fall for it? Probably.
