It was very well done and to have so many jokes in one place for a reference. He is much better than many of the joke books I've read. Doctors have proven that laughter can rid one of many illnesses so laughter is good for you in more ways than one. It is important to laugh, Milton Berle is able to deliver laughter on every page. Some jokes are of course better that others and other's are witty not as funny but amusing. Everyone's reaction is different to different forms of humor. He seems to mix different types of humor with wit, puns, slap stick or sarcasm. So anyone should find something worth laughing about in this book.
Who doesn't want a good laugh? This is the largest compendium of jokes I've ever seen. And it is a true reflection of a man who devoted his life as a humorist, in order to make everyone's life a little better. Humor lightens tough days. Thank you Milton!

This a compilation of most of the jokes used by Milton Berle(the thief of bad gags)and almost all of the jokes can stand the test of time. For the most part they're clean and not vulgar. Whether Berle "borrowed" some of them from other comics and their writers doesn't matter because they're still pretty funny. A must read for the "quipster" in all of us.---CWA---
