The Serious Guide to Joke Writing: How To Say Something Funny About Anything pdfdrive com

How did the class do?
I always get one person who completely loves these and has been up all night
with their joke-web, which is so large I have to spread it on the floor. I also get
one  person  who  hates  them  but  most  people  are  in  the  middle  and  have  done
pretty well. I have also observed over the years that the amount of jokes students
write is nearly always commensurate with the amount of time they put in! Here
are some of the jokes they wrote.

I went to a scientist’s house it was so posh he had a gene pool in his back
