Inhaltsangabe

That's Really Funny! Volume 1, a Storyteller’s Collection of His All-Time Favorite Jokes by Joe McHugh is a delightful compilation of 75 skillfully-crafted story jokes spread across 154 pages with 27 artful illustrations that draws upon a rich tradition of narrative humor to make people laugh and drive the blues away. Avoiding simple one-liners, put-downs, puns, and “shaggy dogs” Joe McHugh’s story jokes weave together memorable characters, vivid settings, and engaging plots—each finishing with a great punch line. Whether you need the perfect gift, a companion for camping trips and airplane journeys, or a store of yarns to liven up a family gathering and or a dinner party, “That’s Really Funny!” is the ultimate collection for anyone looking for an excuse to laugh.

“Humor is the great thing—the saving thing after all. The minute it crops up all our hardnesses yield, all our irritations and resentments slip away and a sunny spirit takes their place.” ~ Mark Twain

Forty years in the making, this collection grew out of McHugh’s global travels as a professional storyteller performing at festivals, libraries, museums, and concert halls. Inside the pages, readers will encounter an eccentric single-malt whisky expert, a frustrated preacher, a misbehaving parrot, and an extra-clever poacher outsmarting a game warden. You will meet a London pickpocket who finds true love, a lawyer who buys a mysterious brass figurine in San Francisco’s Chinatown, and a genie who offers a woman three wishes—with an unusual condition. And that is just the beginning.

~ Laughter is the best medicine ~
