Man Walks Into A Bar: The Ultimate Collection of Jokes and One-Liners

by Stephen Arnott

Man Walks Into A Bar is a one-stop shop for anyone who likes to hear and tell jokes. The jokes are ordered thematically - wives, husbands, doctors, lawyers, the French, the Germans, jokes about nuns, jokes about monkeys, the lot. There are also regular panels which group jokes by type too - Essex girls, changing a lightbulb etc. Our material will turn you into the toast of your local pub or make you loathed in your own home - remember, it is all in the telling. From the sublimely erudite to stuff Frank Carson would turn down (the book has a 'world's worst jokes' section), this book can service you with every joke you'll ever need.

Reviews

[Victoria]

A mixture of jokes really! Some were really funny and some not so! I like how the jokes and one-liners are split up in to categories in the book, makes it easier if you need something funny to include in a speech etc.

ok

[William G Russell]

Very funny indeed

I read at night and laugh myself sleep. If we a no brainer. My wife loves
To laugh at the jokes I read to her

[Alan Carlson]

Interesting to think that I had already heard more than 6000 jokes in my life before opening this tome.

Definitely not for a PG Wodehouse fan

An uneven effort to provide humor

This book disappointed me. There were far too many old "retread" jokes. The author did intersperse them among some very good material.

[Marisa]

The book was okay. Some jokes not that great. Some I didn't understand too much. Some jokes were funny. Thank you.

[Dennis Rose]

On a positive note, 6000 jokes at under $16, you can't beat the price. That comes to about 4 jokes for a penny. Stephen and Mike did a great job organizing the jokes into about 380 categories. I never heard of a Bi-sexual Animal joke but this book actually has one included.

Sadly, some of the jokes are not funny and some of them do not make sense to me, perhaps I am a little slow on the uptake. Another big problem I have is the font size. I understand the reason for the font style, a smaller font translates to a lower overall book price. Perhaps the next edition will include a thin plastic magnifying glass. Most would have no problem with the font size.

A MAN WALKS INTO A BAR is a great gift idea for friends, grads and others that love humor (and who doesn't). The price is right, especially on Amazon.

Just terrible

I'm only 20 or so jokes in and I hate this book. Some of the jokes are poorly structured and so far they're almost all racist or at least racially insensitive. Some are just old groaners.
