Book Overview
Jimmy Pritchards presents a collection of hundreds of jokes, collected from wonderfully diverse patrons over the course of his career tending bars in New York City, that are sure to have anybody laughing. When it comes to the finest, the far-outest, and the just plain funniest, the jokes start here--in the saloon capital of the world, New York, New York. Jimmy Pritchard, author and veteran NYC bartender, has heard them all from patrons across the oak. In these comedic cocktails, no one is spared, not the Irish or the elderly, not lawyers or blondes, not the handicapped, not sex-crazed animals, not even God. Jimmy brings you over 400 of the best in the house, stirred, shaken, and served inside this one-of-a-kind collection that is downright intoxicating.

So maybe he has Elmer's Glue instead of ear wax....

This is a great collection of jokes, new and old. And even the old ones are presented in a lively, fresh format. The author knows how to spin a yarn, and even make the corniest puns seem funny. Yes, this is a glowing review. The only negative I can think of is that one can flip through the book all too quickly. More, please!
A riot!

This is the best collection of jokes I've read! It takes a lot for me to laugh out loud and this book did it! Very difficult to put down!

Having hoisted quite a few at the bar Jimmy tends (Virgil's, just off Time's Square) I can attest that this book is every bit as funny as Jimmy is in person. Having worked behind the bar for 20 years, Jimmy has heard every joke known to humankind -- tell him a punchline and he'll tell you the gag. He's a fine raconteur, a gentleman and a judge of fine bourbon, and one damn funny guy who has written one damn funny book. And, let's face it, there probably hasn't been a time since the Draft Riots that New York City has been more in need of a good laugh. So, if you're looking for a fine compendium of punch lines, you can't do better than the NYC Bartender's Joke Book.

The best and funniest collection of jokes I've ever read. Well done and Jimmy's comments throughout the book are great.
Stands out among so many joke books

Much funnier than the other joke books out there. Well worth the money, cause it will be a book you pick up to read over and over again.
