Well, this peppy little compilation of jokes might just be that perfect gift item. It takes philosophy to task with such flair and gusto that I nearly read it from cover to cover, not like one is supposed to savor a joke book--in sporadic doses, flicking random pages. The jokes are absolutely spot-on, definitely beyond your average "my karma ran over your dogma" variety, and often give a whole new meaning to the term "wisecrack". For instance, a Buddhist walks up to a hot-dog stand and says, "Make me one with everything". He then pays the vendor and asks for change. The vendor says, "change comes from within". This is not the funniest one, mind you, just one of the brief ones that a lazy codger such as myself will take the time to reproduce.
I really enjoyed this book. The tagline is "understanding philosophy through jokes. I found in entertaining and a delight to read. Something you can read in small snatches. Covers quite a broad range of topics including metaphysics, ethics, logic, existentialism and relativity. Also includes a glossary. Raises some interesting questions and presents subject in a humourous manner.
