The Joke Book





The Joke Book is a project that i created for a recent FBI fundraiser. They asked me to submit a work for a seven hour exhibition. I decided to sit at a table in the exhibition space for the duration of the show and invite people to share their jokes with me no matter how long, funny or unfunny they were. i have recorded them all in my joke book and now i'm just looking for a publisher...hahaha. There are 74 jokes in the joke book so far but i would like to get that number up to 102, just because the title 101 jokes is already taken. Here are a few of my favorite jokes from 102 Jokes;

Joke 33- Why did the astronaught cross the road? Because he needed some space

Joke 43- Why did the baker have dirty hands? Because he needed a poo

Joke 60- What do you call Woolworths when it burns down? Coles

Joke89- What’s brown and rhymes with Snoop? Dr Dre

Joke20-A man walks into a bar and the first thing that the bar tender notices is that half of the mans head is an orange. He walks up to the bar and orders two scotch and cokes and one lemonade. The bar tender says that will be $12.50, but before the bar tender finishes the man pulls out exact change and puts it on the bar. The bar tender says “wow that’s amazing, also I noticed that all the women in the bar are gravitating towards you, what’s the deal?” half an orange head man takes a sip of his drink and it dribbles half out of his mouth and says “I was cleaning out my garage the other day and I found an old lamp, naturally I gave it a clean and a genie popped out and he gave me three wishes, first I wished for is for every woman in the world to be attracted to me, second wish I wished for was for there to always be correct change in my pocket” Bar tender says “That’s smart because you can get any woman you want and you can buy anything from drink to a car but what was the third wish?” He takes another sip of his drink, which naturally spills half out of his mouth and says “well that’s where I screwed up, I wished for half of my head to be an orange”

Joke3- I went into a fish and chip shop the other day and I said “Do you serve crabs?” and they said “yes we serve anyone, sit down”

Joke 25- when is a door not a door? When it’s a jar
