Clean Up Your Act with SQUEAKY CLEAN COMEDY

If toilet stall quips and barroom witticism just don't tickle your funny bone, maybe what you need is something new. Introducing, for the first time ever,Squeaky Clean Comedy Judy Brown's Squeaky Clean Comedy: 1,512 Dirt-Free Jokes From the Best Comedians (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $10.95, April 2005). Offering the same desired relief from the daily grind as workplace water cooler jokes, Squeaky Clean Comedy is gentler on the sensibilities and a welcome departure from the trend toward vulgarity in comedy.

Squeaky Clean Comedy stands apart from ordinary joke collections, striving for and achieving dignity in hilarity. Brown has a careful appreciation for what makes us laugh without having to throw hits below the belt, use unnecessary four-letter words, or insult our intelligence, so that the jokes collected here can be shared with and enjoyed by the whole family, as well as co-workers. Well-loved comedians such as David Letterman, Chris Rock, Tim Allen, George Carlin, Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Cosby, Joan Rivers, Jeff Foxworthy, Phyllis Diller and more, grace the pages of Brown's sixth side-splitting collection, with jokes cracking wise on a range of issues:

  • "They usually have two tellers in my local bank. Except when it's very busy, when they have one." —Rita Rudner
  • "It's great to have gray hair. Ask anyone who's bald." —Rodney Dangerfield
  • "I hated my last boss. He asked, "Why are you two hours late?" I said, "I fell downstairs." He said, "That doesn't take two hours."" —Johnny Carson
  • "There's now a glove that lets doctors see a patient's vital signs just by touching him. Unless you're in an HMO.
  • Then your doctor gets an oven mitt and a meat thermometer." —Jay Leno
  • "I had a nest egg, but I lost it gambling. I was betting I'd Judy Brown be dead by now." —Drew Carey

So if what you crave is a good belly laugh that is free from offense, with no twisted punchlines or slaps in the face, if what you seek are a few good jokes you can share with family and friends, clean up your act with Brown's latest, Squeaky Clean Comedy.
