Book Review: Khushwant Singh's Joke Book 9

It might feel strange to review a joke book. But joke books are what converted a child from a non-reader to a reader. 

Jokes are underrated. Humour is the lubrication of human interactions. 

So, joke books, in my book, are right up there.  

For my generation, Khushwant Singh is up there when it comes to joke books. 

And yet... this book disappoints spectacularly. 

The jokes are ALL old, mostly lame, and some downright incendiary. My most hated "joke" is this: 

Morning: Incense; Night: Incest 

Morning: Shivling; Night: Cunnilingus 

- the contributor of this "Joke" is Karan Thapar from Delhi. 


Give this book a complete miss.
