About the author

Allan Pease is an Australian author and motivational speaker. Despite having no education in psychology, neuroscience, or psychiatry, he has managed to establish himself as an "expert on relationships".

Originally a musician, he became a successful life insurance salesman, he started a career as a speaker and trainer in sales and latterly in body language. This resulted in a popular sideline of audio tapes, many of which feature his irreverent wit.

His best-selling book Body Language brought him international recognition. It has been followed by several others. He is quite well known in Australia and during the 1980s he was an occasional TV analyst for political debates where he would analyze the body language and overall performance of the contestants.

When a joke book needs a 6 page introduction explaining why not finding these jokes funny is YOUR problem then alarm bells ring. I agree with Pease’s assertion that being offended is a choice but not his following assertion that choosing to be offended shows low self-esteem. I think it shows empathy and compassion. If Pease (an Aussie) were to be killed in a shark attack I wouldn’t expect his wife or children to laugh if I went up to them the following day and said “I hear your dad has dandruff, they just found his head and shoulders in the beach”. Or maybe they would but not for the reasons he thinks.
Some people tell jokes to be funny and they don’t land well. The introduction to this shows that not only can people choose to be offended but they can choose to offend. It seems to be that Pease doesn’t intend to humour but to offend. I exercised my right to choose by not reading past the introduction.
Finally, I do not know if Pease is still alive or dead, I chose a tense that supports the former above. I do know that he is/was white, heterosexual, able-bodied, straight, Western and male. But because he can laugh at a joke about Aussies, it’s OK to make jokes about everything.

Worth a spot on your already crammed bookshelf! One-of-a-kind joke book that helps you explore multiple stereotypes around the world in, what can only be described as, the most hilarious rendition possible.

Delightful to observe the play of words that give an otherwise normal sentence double/triple meaning and evoke grossed out yet loud laughter from you :P

Very few actually funny ones here.
Meh!

Ben fatto.
Libro per niente noioso per gli amanti del genere.
Molto utile per un'infarinatura generale. Molto dettagliato. Esempi chiari e disegnini esplicativi a prova di deficiente. Se si vuole una marcia in piu' per capire il prossimo, è da leggere! :D

As the title says... not for the uptight or overly sensitive ones... ;)

I think this is probably the best joke book I have read. Majority of the jokes are brilliant and I found I was trying to remember many of them to recite to others. Great book!
