Jokes $4.48 In the tradition of Freud’s Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious, Herbert Strean has presented an incisive examination of jokes as a form of emotional communication of our deepest anxieties and most basic conflicts and impulses. He lucidly illustrates how, through the medium of jokes, we are permitted safe, if indirect, expression of our erotic and perverse wishes, our hostile and defiant attitudes toward authority, our needs to deprecate those we perceive as superior, our stake in the war of the sexes, and our gratification in depicting religious figures (and therapists) as all too humanly succumbing to the temptations of lust and avarice. The jokes Dr. Strean presents and discusses are those concerned with the basic life situations that are inevitably characterized by ambivalence and conflict. Thus they constitute the principal material of psychotherapy.

Dirty Jokes and Beer $21.48 We all know Drew Carey from The Drew Carey Show and his award-winning stand-up career, but do we really know Drew Carey, the person? Bawdy and irreverent, Dirty Jokes and Beer shows the many sides to this misunderstood Hollywood star: The Health Conscious Drew: They say that exercise and proper diet are the keys to a longer, healthier life. Oh well…Watch for my next book, "How I Died While Jogging." Drew the Lover: I read the Forum letters in Penthouse thinking that I could learn from them. I remember thinking sometimes when I was having sex, "Let’s see now. How did ‘Surprised in Cincinnati’ do it?"…If a Playboy Playmate said in her questionnaire that she liked a guy in tight pants, I would go out and buy some tight pants. If she said she liked well-endowed men with big muscles and hairy chests, I would cry. And Drew’s formula that took him from lonely teenager to successful megastar: Avoid cheap cologne and cheesy bikini underwear. Don’t expect sex on the first date, and never pay more than twenty dollars for a lap dance. Dirty Jokes and Beer features all this, plus a section that Drew calls kind of a Drew Carey in the Fourth Dimension [but] still close enough to the real Drew to scare me. This audiobook contains adult language.

The Linguistic Analysis of Jokes (Routledge Studies in Linguistics, 2) $137.48 This book starts from three observations. First, the use of humour is a complex, puzzling, and idiosyncratically human form of behaviour (and hence is of scientific interest). Second, there is currently no theory of how humour works. Third, one useful step towards a theory of humour is to analyse humorous items in precise detail, in order to understand their mechanisms. The author begins by considering how to study jokes rigorously: the assumptions to make, the guidelines to follow and the pitfalls to avoid. A critique of other work on humour is also provided. This introduces some important concepts, and also demonstrates the lack of agreement about what a theory of humour should look like. The language devices used in various jokes, such as puns or humour based on misinterpretation, are analysed in detail. The central part of the book develops, and demonstrates, proposals for how best to analyse the workings of simple jokes. Finally, the author makes some general suggestions about the language devices that seem to be central to the construction of jokes. The Linguistic Analysis of Jokes will be invaluable for researchers and advanced students of humour research, linguistics and cognitive science.

Internet Jokes $24.98 Toward the end of 1997 I embarked upon a journey to compile as many jokes as I could. I decided to name the book Internet Jokes due to the origin of most of the jokes. If you have access to the web or e-mail I’m sure you too have received many jokes at one time or another. I was receiving so many jokes via e-mail that I decided to categorize each joke and put them in a book. The jokes that follow are not all "G" rated folks. Then again they are all not "R" rated jokes either. If you are easily offended, this book may not be for you. Mostly everything in this book (99%) came to me via e-mail. You will find many interesting pieces of information, (whether reliable or not is yet to be known), amusing tidbits and a wealth of laughter. I gave credit to the originator of the contents whenever feasible. I tried to be as tasteful as humanely possible and not include any jokes that would be too offensive or were in poor taste. I certainly hope you enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed compiling it for your reading delight. jkl

Jokes & Stories $23.48 Let there be no doubt, the stereotype is accurate: sales people, more than any other profession, truly love telling jokes and humorous stories.

However, remembering all those jokes seems rather impossible, now doesn

Jokes and the Unconscious $14.98 Heard the one about the dying father? In this savagely brilliant graphic novel by slam poet Daphne Gottlieb (Final Girl) and Hothead Paisan creator Diane DiMassa, a 19-year-old woman named Sasha loses her father to cancer and takes a job in the hospital where he had worked as a doctor. Moving from room to room with her clipboard of forms, Sasha encounters the insane, the suicidal, and the brave — then returns to her office to look up all her friends’ and enemies’ medical records. Taking its title from Freud’s Jokes and their Relation to the Unconscious, Gottlieb and DiMassa’s first collaboration is both moving and darkly funny. Where comedy meets chemo, where mirth meets mortality, Jokes and the Unconscious explores the murky terrain of grief — a shadowland of memory, sexual escape, and morbid snickering.

On a trip to the White House, a young boy asks their guide, ?Excuse me! How many people work in congress?? ?I think 5-10%.? What do sperm and politicians have in common? Millions come but only one does the job.

The Truth (with jokes) $3.48 Al Franken?s landmark bestseller, Lies (And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them): A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, was praised as a ?bitterly funny assault? (The New York Times) that rang ?with the moral clarity of an angel?s trumpet? (The Associated Press). Now, this master of political humor strikes again with a powerful and provocative message for all of us. In these pages, Al reveals the alarming story of how: * Bush (barely) beat Kerry with his campaign of ?fear, smear, and queers,? and then claimed a nonexistent mandate. * ?Casino Jack?Abramoff, the Republicans? nearest and dearest friend, made millions of dollars off of the unspeakable misery of the poor and the powerless. And, also, Native Americans. * The administration successfully implemented its strategy to destroy America?s credibility and goodwill around the world. Complete with new material for this paperback edition, The Truth (with jokes) is more than just entertaining, intelligent, and insightful. It is at once prescient in its analysis of right-wing mendacity and incompetence, and inspiring in its vision of a better tomorrow for all Americans (except Jack Abramoff). BACKCOVER: ?Devastating?The Truth keeps its promise to be funny about extremely unfunny matters. It matches Lies in wit, and its subjects are tougher. The gags have bite. . . .The book stays lively even when it dissects President Bush?s views on Social Security . . .And it is effectively leavened with bits of dialogue, many of them all too real.? ?The New York Times ?Subtle, laugh-or-cry-out-loud and ultimately devastating . . .The Truth (with jokes) is guaranteed to rile the right again with its forensic lasering of Republican skullduggery and media mendacity, laced with sharp humor. . . . [Al Franken] is the voice the American left has been waiting for.? ?The Guardian (London)
