Don Hall has been writing jokes and puns for 20+ years and sharing them in a stand-up comedy routine at his church's annual retreat. He leaves his audience laughing (and groaning). Now, Don shares with you 100 of his best jokes and worst puns with the objective of giving you the same experience. Don's mind works in mysterious ways. He doesn't always know where a thought is going to end up. When it takes a really odd turn it's usually funny. Then, he knows he's come up with something you haven't heard before. Although Don practices humor without a medical license, think of this book as good medicine, suitable for all ages. He strongly believes in the saying, "Leave 'em laughing."
