The ultimate joke book with over 3,000 side-splitting jokes for every occasion: ranging from one-liners and observations, to classic funny stories that will provide hours of fun.

Mike Haskins and Stephen Arnott collate this wonderful comedy-fest full of quick-fire one-liners, timely observations and rambling yarns – from the classic to the modern. This book contains quips for every occasion: from a best man’s speech to a sales conference, for swapping around the dinner table and even for when you’re sitting on the loo!

Arranged by subject matter, you’ll always be able to find just the right joke for any situation. (Unless you're a child, because this book is strictly for adults only.)

This hilarious collection will appeal to those who want to find a specific rib-tickler for an upcoming event, and to those who want to settle down in an armchair and have a good old laugh. From the hilariously cringe-worthy dad joke, to the witty brain-teaser, 3000 Jokes, 2997 Laughs will leave you the funniest person in every room.

Jokes include:

  • Tom’s eyesight is getting very bad. He’s had to get a special new pair of glasses to help him find where he left his old glasses.
  • What do you call a magic dog? A Labracadabrador.
  • Today is the birthday of the inventor of the boomerang. I think we should all wish him Many Happy Returns.
  • What’s the best thing about Switzerland? I don’t know, but their flag is a huge plus.

Settle in, and prepare to laugh your socks off!
