Book Description
In today's busy world, where text-speak seems to be the prevalent form of written English, and the average teenager can barely form a proper sentence without using the numbers '4' or '8' as substitutes for letters, is the pun becoming an endangered species? As a society we have come to regard wordplay as old-fashioned, obvious humour, because it hinges simply on one word having multiple definitions, spellings or sound-a-likes. It may not be controversial, edgy or even topical, but it actually takes a great deal of skill, wit and general knowledge to come up with a decent pun not everyone can do it. THE LITTLE BOOK OF PUNS explores the dying art of paronomasia and gives us a taste of the very best wordplay history has to offer. It harks back to the heady days when intelligence was measured at dinner parties rather than behind a school desk, when people still wrote letters instead of emails and actually read newspapers instead of checking out a website. This book may as well exist in anti gravity, because you ll find it almost impossible to put down!

Book Description
Are you tired of your uncle's racist jokes at Thanksgiving? Of seemingly harmless "dad jokes" that empower the oppressive patriarchy? Of coworkers' heteronormative assumptions during happy hours? If so, The Little Book of Woke Jokes is your key to ensuring no hour is ever happy around you again. In it, you'll find over 200 "innocent" jokes, with clear explanations of why they're problematic. For example: Q: Why can't you explain puns to kleptomaniacs? A: Kleptomania is a mental health issue, and the fact that you'd laugh at someone with a mental health issue tells me more about you than about them. (Ableist punchline: They take everything literally.) The Little Book of Woke Jokes also makes a great gift for that special someone in all our lives - the blue-haired, 20-something who scolds strangers as a hobby. Never run out of lectures again, and - more importantly - prove you're against white supremacy by buying this book.
