Reading JOW #1328

My jokes this week remain about books and reading.  I was happy with the reception of my latest book ‘Jac and the Princess’ has received. Thanks to those of you who have bought a copy.  Don’t forget to post a review of the book if you like it.  If not, tell me what you did not like.  The follow-on book, Jac and the Queen is in production now and it is not too late to make changes.  Here are my jokes – I hope they entertain you.

 

My older sister always tore the last pages of my comic books and never told me why.

I had to draw my own conclusions.

 

Look, I'm all for coloring books but connect-the-dots? That's where I draw the line.

 

Why does Kim Jong Un love books?

Because he is the Supreme Reader.

Here is a book knock knock joke.
Librarian: Knock knock.
Kid: Who's there?
Librarian: Winnie Thupp.
Kid: Winnie Thupp who?
Librarian: He's in the juvenile fiction, and so is Piglet!

A boy was spending too much time playing computer games, so

His father said, "Son, when Abe Lincoln was your age, he was studying books by the light of the fireplace."

The considered this for a moment and replied: “When Abe Lincoln was your age he was The President of the United States.”

 

A visitor to a certain college paused to admire the new Hemingway Hall that had been built on campus.
"It's a pleasure to see a building named for Ernest Hemingway," he said.
"Actually," said his guide, "it's named for Joshua Hemingway. No relation."
The visitor was astonished. "Was Joshua Hemingway a writer, also?"
"Yes, indeed," said his guide. "He wrote a check."

 

A chicken runs into a library, goes to the main desk and says, ‘Book, bok, bok, boook.’ The librarian hands the chicken a book and it tucks it under its wing and runs out. A while later, the chicken runs back in, throws the book on the desk and says, ‘Book, bok, bok, bok, boook.’ Again the librarian gives it a book, and the chicken runs out with it. A few minutes later the chicken is back, and returns the book saying, ‘Boook, book, bok, bok, boook.’ The librarian gives the chicken a third book, but this time follows it as it runs out. The chicken runs down the street, through a park and down to the river where a frog is sitting on the bank. The chicken holds up the book to the frog, saying, ‘Book, bok, bok, boook’.

The frog replies, ‘Read-it, read-it, read-it…’

 

And my last joke is about when God decided it was time to send an angel to Earth.

*poof* All of a sudden, the angel finds himself on the side of a road in the middle of rural America. He sticks out his thumb for a ride and before long a man in a truck stops to give him a lift.
Not revealing his true identity, the angel thanks the man for stopping.
The angel: ‘Wow thank you sir, so many people just ignored me standing there.’
Man: ‘Don’t worry about it! That’s just what good people do.’
After a few minutes driving the man leans over,
Man: ‘Hey, I have this sandwich here, ya want some?’
The angel: ‘Wow, thank you sir, that’s so kind of you! I’d love some.’
A few more minutes pass and the man leans over again,
Man: ‘Hey I have a few beers in the cooler back there, want one?’
The angel: ‘Sure! I’d love one. Thank you again.”
After a few more miles down the road the man looks around suspiciously and says,
Man: ‘Hey…I uh, have a little joint here. Want to take a few puffs with me?’
The angel pauses for a second and replies,
The angel: ‘Ya know what, why not!’
So the man and the angel drive down the road smoking the joint listening to music and having a good time. Finally, the angel speaks up,
The angel:’ Okay listen! I can’t keep quiet any longer! You have been so kind, so nice, I want to tell you…I’m an angel! God sent me down here to help the people and you’ve just been so kind. What can I do to repay you? Anything!’
The man looks at the angel with a grin on his face and says, ‘Yeah, that joint was good sh1t, huh?’
