I have always enjoyed a good joke. Over a period of many years, I have been accumulating my favorites in a sort of informal way. I finally decided to compile a list of what I consider the best jokes in the collection. The result of this is what you now hold in your hand: "The five hundred funniest jokes I have ever heard or read." There are jokes of all kinds herein. I have included one-liners, quips, top-tens, detailed humorous stories, ethnic jokes and of course jokes covering marriage and the battle of the sexes. Being an avid golfer, I have included a section devoted to golf as well. Each chapter begins with an illustration depicting one of the jokes in that chapter. It is my sincere hope that contents of this book will bring you as much laughter and enjoyment as they have brought me in compiling them.
