This book is a collection of jokes, from clean dad jokes to dark humour. The aim was to collect a variety of jokes to ensure that you can always find a type of joke you like, at any time in any mood. Most of the jokes are in British English, but there are also some American and international ones, as humour is a global spectacle. The chapters are arranged with a purpose: to make sure there's something for everyone. We begin with the gentler side of humour: dad jokes, riddles, and knock-knock jokes. The sort of material you can share with just about anyone without a risk of offence (other than the odd groan). As you read on, the jokes become spicier and more controversial, touching on politics, religion, and identity. From there, the jokes turns darker with a chapter of adult and dark humour. And finally, we close with the gloriously pointless anticlimax of the Shaggy Dog Story: long, meandering tales that promise much and deliver very little, apart from the joy of the groan. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following chapters are waiting for you: Dad Jokes Knock-Knock Jokes Riddles British One-Liners Wordplay.
