Thank god somebody is still writing down what makes us all laugh.

I'm fairly certain it's cheesy to count this as a book I've "read" this year, but it did keep me company while taking care of other business over the last couple weeks. I love A Prairie Home Companion, and I giggled plenty over many of these jokes. Amazingly, they were all voiced by Garrison Keillor in my head as I read them. Fun stuff.

There are a handful of volumes of these Joke Books. Garrison Keillor would have a day each year on The Prairie Home Companion radio program where they told MANY jokes. Since these could be told on the radio, they are fairly 'clean'. We like to sit around a pit-fire in the back yard and read from these until we are doubled-over in laughter and have to close the book.

Just the pick-me-up I needed at the end of a terrible week. I actually laughed out loud while reading it silently to myself with no one but the cat to hear me.
