About this ebook
From the author of Does the Name Pavlov Ring a Bell?: Nothing but puns—from the old to the newsworthy and everything in between.
All puns intended in this book guaranteed to add some laughs into your life. You can count on the so-called “lowest form of humor” to raise your mood, even when everything around you is on fire. Why? Because wordplay is where it’s at—in headlines, in stand-up routines, in classic literature, and even in politics, where humor is needed more than ever before.
When there’s a sale on tennis balls, it’s first come, first serve. Condoms should be used on every conceivable occasion. Why does the Pope travel so much? Because he’s a roamin’ Catholic. What is purple and 5,000 miles long? The Grape Wall of China! O-pun the door to more than 800 goodies that will have you howling or groaning, but certainly—like the surgery patient—in stitches.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I think I've called this book everything but it's actual name when talking about it to other people and that's probably because it has quite the title: A Freudian Slip is When You Say One Thing but Mean Your Mother: 879 Funny, Funky, Hip, and Hilarious Puns by Gary Blake. If you think the title is a mouthful you should take a peek at what's inside. It's absolute chock full of punny goodness. My mom left this with me nearly a year ago with turned down pages and highlights of her favorite jokes (this is so her type of humor). I enjoyed employing them on unsuspecting coworkers and watching their eyes roll into their back of their heads at the corniness (and sometimes incomprehensibility). To give you a taste of what I'm talking about here's one from page 211:Did you hear about the guy who was hit in the head by a bottle of soda? Lucky for him, it was a soft drink.Cue all of your friends either nominating you for an award because you used this on them or they might actually whack you upside the head with an actual bottled beverage. I must also caution that there are some rather problematic jokes in this book (the argument could be made that he doesn't pull any punches toward any group of people). Also, if you're not particularly hip to the political jibe (as I'm not) then some of these aren't going to make a lot of sense. I think this is one of those books that you come to every now and again but I wonder how many people sit down and read it cover-to-cover as mom and I have done...unless they're trying to get some new jokes under their belt. ;-)
