fun little book my son gave me last Christmas. I finally picked it up and read it. Lots of fun little facts and humor included.

Here is a fun joke from the book:

A guy walk into a bar and see a sign hanging over the bar that reads:
Cigars: $10. Hand Job: $5
Checking his wallet for the necessary payment, he walks up to the bar and bekons to one of the three exceptional attractive blondes serving drinks to an eager-looking group of men.
"Yes?" she enquires with a knowing smile. "Can I help you?"
"I was wondering , are you the one who give the hand-jobs?"
"Yes," she purrs, "I am."
To which the man replies, "Well, wash your hands, I need a cigar."
