It Really IS Pretty Good !

We have been selling Garrison Keiler's "Pretty Good Joke Book" for probably five years. Most of the jokes come from his once a year Prairie Home Companion Joke Show, and the book is popular as everything from a hospital present to a birthday gift to a just plain "here's something fun" gift. This Labor Day weekend, my sister and I drove to Albany to celebrate my mother's 86th birthday and I grabbed a copy of the joke book for the drive. It was fun to read them and they really made us laugh. Then, I read some at the birthday celebration and got my Mom laughing til she cried. She liked it so much I left it with her, so we didn't get to finish the last couple of chapters - but, we have more of them here at Joie. Now I understand why this book sells as well five years later as it did when we first bought it . . . it's really really funny ! (and, bonus - they update it every year or so with lots of new jokes- we're now up to edition 5.)
