Please note that this book contains jokes from many sources. In general, jokes have no authors. They are "hand-me-downs" from one generation to another and/or one person to another. The jokes are my collection over a period of 30 years taken from many sources: books, emails, word-of-mouth, my memory, joke websites, friends, etc. I have attempted to avoid distasteful and lurid jokes, but some contained in this book may be a bit risqué. And finally, there is no category ordering of the jokes, such as animal, barroom, St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.
