Consumer Critique: The World's Oldest Joke Book

An Abderite meets a eunuch who’s chatting with a woman, and asks him if this is his wife. When he’s told the eunuchs can’t have wives, the Abderite says, “My mistake-it must be your daughter.”

If you got that joke, then you should check out The World's Oldest Joke Boke: Hundreds of Hilariously Terrible Ancient Jokes by Dan Crompton. This is a nice light-hearted book, perfect for someone with a healthy sense of humor. Some of the jokes are still retold today, just altered slightly. While I didn't literally laugh at all of the jokes, I did find the book to be overall enjoyable - and I recommend it as a great stocking stuffer or other small gift for just about anyone.

Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy to facilitate this review.
