Book Jokes
When I was a kid, my dad used to tell us these ridiculous ‘book’ jokes.
They involved a made-up book title, followed by an appropriate author!
Here are the ones I can remember… plus a few more that I’ve either made up, or discovered along the way.
Your challenge (should you choose to accept it): Think up some more of your own and then add them in the comments section below!
