…”National Lampoon’s Jokes, Jokes, Jokes; Collegiate Edition” by SHECKYmagazine columnist and FOS Steve Ochs? Well let’s mention it now.
“From the vast collection of knucklehead comedians, pranksters and practical jokers that make up the contributing community of writers to the National Lampoon come party jokes, off color college humor, and decidedly un-PC punch lines that populate this comprehensive collection of jokes and silly anecdotes. For example, Q: What’s the difference between Billy Joel and Great White? A: Billy Joel didn’t start the fire! Or, while my roommate was doing laundry he yelled, “What setting do I put the washer on?” So I shouted back, “What does it say on your shirt?” And he replied, “University of Arizona!””

Thanks for the plug-a-roo, there Shecksters! The book is really fun. Not just because of all the hand-picked jokes, but the “Joke Analysis” stuff from Matt Brown is really great. He does scholarly studies of really crude jokes. He’s brilliant, really. If you enjoyed the Aristocrats, this will just delight you!Also, that Billy Joel joke from the Amazon blurb isn’t actually in the book. In fact, I don’t really like that kind of joke. 200 kids killed in a nightclub disaster just isn’t what I consider fertile ground for quality humor.Here’s a joke I do like from the book, found under the course heading, “Religion and Gender”-Two nuns are hard at work painting the monastery. It is very, very hot and one nun says to the other, “Do you think it would be evil if we took our habits off since we’re working so hard and it’s so hot?” The other nun said, “Well, we’re all alone and no one ever comes here, so it will be fine.”So the nuns took their habits off and were painting in the nude when all of a sudden, a knock was heard at the door. “Who’s there?” they cried in a panic.“The blind man,” came the reply.“Well,” said the first nun, “if he is blind, it won’t make any difference.”So the nuns opened the door.“Nice tits!” said the man. “Where do you want me to put the blinds?”-This is a Lampoon book with all the obscenity that that suggests, so don’t look for it at Wal-Mart (it is everywhere else: Borders, Barnes and Noble, etc.) We are selling pretty well actually, but even a tiny boost could get a green light for my next book, “National Lampoon’s Chicken Soup for the Bowl,” a collection of short stories new and classic (Douglas Kenney, Chris Miller, Henry Beard, etc. – the Mount Rushmore of sophomoric comedy) that take about as long as a visit to the john to enjoy.
