First published in 1982, then in 1989, this current and updated version of Allan Gould's and Danny Siegel's classic explores all kinds of inanities and insanities sure to tickle the sternest funny... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Siegel and Gould have taken sophisticated humor to a new height. Even if you are not Jewish, have never attended a Bar Mitzvah, or have not seen the movie 'Goodbye Columbus', I think you will still appreciate the humor.The jokes are not always simplistic - and that is what makes them so much more appreciated. These are not stand-up routines, rather, they are well-thought out pieces of prose.The Unorthodox Book of Jewish Records & Lists is obviously patterned after the 'book of lists'/'guiness world record' genre, and does a great job within the Jewish humor world.I highly recommend this book! It is certainly on MY list of books to buy, give as a presents, etc.
