THE MOST FUN YOU CAN HAVE
IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Welcometo the party!
Overthe recent horrific years of COVID-19, face masks, wholesale hospitalizations and deaths, politicalupheavals, riots, canceled travels and hug-free two-dimensional Zoom gatherings,I had an epiphany. It was the discovery that when I was laughing and having a hilarioustime, my daily dose of angst, anger, worry and fear vanished.
Thechallenge: how could I share laughter with others and do my darnedest to make theworld a happier place?
What sparks laughter? Jokes for one thing.
For Starters…
Idecided to dig deep and came up with 87 of the best jokes -- thigh-slappers -- Imanaged to remember over my past seventy-five years. (NOTE: These arefor adults. Most are R-rated.)
• Youwill start with a YouTube link to the Funniest Joke (IMO) in the History of theWorld. (If you know a funnier one, I’d love to hear it!)
•Okay, 87 jokes do not make a book. What else is out there that makes people happy?In prowling the endlessly fascinating millions of hours available in the YouTube universe, I stumbled across twominutes and 31 seconds that changed my life.

Oops... Patter Song-and-dance Masters
Right after I finished Bawdy Jokes & Patter Songsand sent it off to the publisher, I suddenly realized a huge omission -- the five masters of the patter-song-and-dance. I quickly added them to the anthology. Here's a favorite. NOTE: In the history of motion pictures, this is the only instance where Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly appeared together.
