Where do Tim Allen, Whoopi Goldberg, Bill Maher, and Sinbad hang out together? In the hilarious -- and extraordinarily useful -- new book, Joke Soup. In this outstandingly comical volume, jokes by some of the world's funniest contemporary comedians are gathered together to create one gigantic laughfest. I took up meditation. I like to have an espresso first just to make it more challenging, says Betsy Salkind. My parents moved to Florida -- they didn't want to, but they're in their sixties, and that's the law, according to Jerry Seinfeld.

Throughout Joke Soup, jokes and one-liners arranged according to subject leap off the page in outrageous abandon. Let's face it: Comedians are the pundits of the'90s, the people upon whom everyone relies for clever perspective. Joke Soup doubles as both the freshest joke book for fans (and everyone with a sense of humor) and as a must-have reference for the business person, student, speaker, or writer in search of cutting-edge quotes.
