Cracking Up a Crowd: The Definitive Guide is a compilation of jokes. Reading this book advances

| “ | Much like making love, comedy requires equal parts passion and delivery. Fever for the stage is not enough -- no no! The truly successful comedian will study the details of the craft through countless long, lonely nights in preparation for his rendezvous with the audience! Compiled within this volume are some of Rivellon's finest funnies -- enough to make a granite statue grim! During a Dwarven funeral, the bearers of the casket accidentally bump into a wall and hear a faint moan. They open the casket and find out that the Dwarven woman inside is actually alive! The entire funeral party rejoices, and a joyful tear springs into her husband's eye. The Dwarven lady lives for 10 more years and then dies. There is another funeral for her. At the end of the service, the bearers carry out the casket. As they are walking out, the husband cries out, 'Watch out for the wall!' An Elf and an Orc show up in Hall of Echoes at the same time. The Orc says he froze to death, and the Elf says he died of a heart attack. 'How did that happen?' asks the Orc. The Elf replied, 'Well, I came home and thought I heard my wife in bed with someone else. But when I searched the house, I couldn't find anybody. I was so stricken with remorse for wrongly accusing my wife of infidelity, I had a heart attack and died on the spot!' 'Geez,' says the Orc. 'If you'd opened the ice box, we'd both be alive right now!' |
