Isaac Asimov's Treasury Of Humor by Isaac Asimov

640 jokes, anecdotes, and limericks, with copious notes on how to tell them and why

A lively compendium of jokes, anecdotes, puns, and light verse arranged by theme, each paired with clear commentary that explains why the humor works, how to tell it effectively, and when to use it. Blending entertainment with instruction, it serves as both a ready-made repertoire for speeches and social occasions and a practical primer on timing, wordplay, and the mechanics of wit.
