    About this ebook

    Hilarious and entertaining!
    Bosnians may well be the greatest hedonists in the world. To them, the quality of life is measured by the sex they've had in a lifetime, the drinks they enjoyed, and the humor that made them laugh. Bosnians make fun of everything and everybody, including themselves. They laugh at what they see as their own stupidity. Also, they will insult each other just to make themselves laugh, and nobody takes offence. The present collection is an abridged version of the 100 Bosnian Jokes, recently published by Smashwords. Enjoy reading this fascinating collection of the best Bosnian jokes!
