I believe there is a humor category. I know I've put books in this
category before, perhaps I've lost it.

Hey you all submitted the first of I hope many joke books or books of humor to come. We really need a "humor" catagory, smile.
But that is an entirely different topic.
Anyway, this is unedited. I suspect the following will have to be done. Cutting and pasting of numbers to correspond to jokes. I tried columns on and off, and not much difference, sorry guys formatting. Also junk chars will have to be erased, and spelling should be done very carefully. Besides that should be a fun read, and I hope the headers don't get stripped. This is a reference book.
610 pages, is quite large even after shrinking with MS Word... so not sure about a Braillenote handling it.
Anyway. I can get the book again if pages need to be rescanned is a library book so would only have to pop down and get it.
From the Book jacket:
What's better than Dial-A-Joke? File-A-Joke. This is the book you've been looking for. The one that takes the worry out of wisecracks, the book that proves there is such a thing as easy humor (providing somebody else does the work!) This book does all the work. Now all you have to do is leaf through and enjoy. Or, better yet, pick a victim and look him up in the index. Your unsuspecting mailman, for instance:
"Say, Charlie, why is this letter wet?" (Your postman gives a puzzled look.) "Must be postage dew." (Then duck, quickly.)
And there's no need to stop there. Is your postman rather hefty? Then just flip to the back of the book and look under "Fat People" (no beating around the bush with this book). You'll find high-level intelligence quotients under "Smartness," conceit under "Stuck Up," and unmarried ladies under "Old Maids." Now that you have 5600 Jokes for All Occasions as a guide, you no longer have to feel frustrated when have a door open and a smart alick stares at you if you were asked if were raised in a barn. Just follow this book's at l art to cry immediately. When he it is wrong, just sniff the following: I was raised in a barn, and whenever Ï see your house, I get homesick." Want a crazy excuse for being late for work? Try #3212. Or for never having learned to spell? #4923. And #4378 is great to try on ex-cons and football lovers. If you want to impress a literary snob who asks you if you know Shakespeare, quote #4595 and say, "Sure, I read his stuff as soon as it comes out." Search these pages to find out why Ireland is the richest country in the world (#5480), how we know Washington had a great memory (#4007), and who went two thousand miles on a galleon [sic] (#5025). In its unusual Introduction, 5600 Jokes for All Occasions supplies us with a valuable guide to making the most of the material. The Introduction gives hints on How to Select Material, Write and Tell Jokes, Adapt Jokes, and Write Sketches and Continuities. The humorous situations are broadly classified into Individuals and Institutions, and these are neatly subdivided so that every subject is related to the subjects before and after it. The most comprehensive collection of humor on the market today, 5600 Jokes is a laugh-makers dream.
