Description:

There has long been a rumour going around that Canadians aren't funny. Well, John Robert Colombo has assembled a comprehensive collection of Canadian humour that is sure to dispel this rumour for once and for all. At once scandalous, subversive and hilarious, it includes a wide range of riddles, puns, and side-splitting anecdotes from the world of history, politics and culture (er, hockey). All those jokes that you share around the water cooler, that delight you in yoxur morning e-mail and that crack you up over your morning paper-they're all here, together for the first time in one handy and hilarious volume.
