Is This Anything?

I wasn't sure what this would be when I bought it for my dad as a Christmas gift (yes, yes, sometimes I read books I give as gifts before I give them, but only because my dad takes years to read so give me a break, okay??). I thought it might be a memoir, or something, and that could be fun, as in my experience, comedians write pretty funny memoirs. Turns out, it's just every (or most of the?) jokes that's he's written/performed over his career. The way they're structured are almost like poems – the way they are broken up mimics the pacing of verbal delivery – which, indeed, does add to the comedic effect once you get used to it. Some of these I'd heard, some of them I hadn't, but the time reading: time laughing ratio made this a good time.
