About the author

Gary Edward "Garrison" Keillor is an American author, singer, humorist, voice actor, and radio personality. He created the Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) show A Prairie Home Companion (called Garrison Keillor's Radio Show in some international syndication), which he hosted from 1974 to 2016. Keillor created the fictional Minnesota town Lake Wobegon, the setting of many of his books, including Lake Wobegon Days and Leaving Home: A Collection of Lake Wobegon Stories. Other creations include Guy Noir, a detective voiced by Keillor who appeared in A Prairie Home Companion comic skits. Keillor is also the creator of the five-minute daily radio/podcast program The Writer's Almanac, which pairs poems of his choice with a script about important literary, historical, and scientific events that coincided with that date in history.
In November 2017, Minnesota Public Radio cut all business ties with Keillor after an allegation of inappropriate behavior with a freelance writer for A Prairie Home Companion. On April 13, 2018, MPR and Keillor announced a settlement that allows archives of A Prairie Home Companion and The Writer's Almanac to be publicly available again, and soon thereafter, Keillor began publishing new episodes of The Writer's Almanac on his website. He also continues to tour a stage version of A Prairie Home Companion, although these shows are not broadcast by MPR or American Public Media.

"In the Lutheran family, the man makes the coffee because in the Scriptures it says, "Hebrews." (Garrison Keillor, New and Not Bad Pretty Good Jokes)

This audio program had 1 hour of jokes, including puns, one-liners, light bulb jokes, political jokes, men jokes, women jokes, blond jokes, etc. Some of them had me laughing, and some of them were blah! or were amusing, but I didn't cackle.

Here are a few I wrote down:

• What's the difference between buggers and broccoli? Because you can't get kids to eat broccoli.

• Why did the man stop farting? He ran out of gas.

• Why did the golfer wear two pairs of pants? In case, he made a hole in one.

• What did the maxi pad say to the fart? You are the wind beneath my wings.

• What do you call a lady with no legs and arms on a BBQ grill? Patty.

This program would be good to take and listen to on a road trip in those boonies areas where there is no radio reception and no signs of life.

These jokes are mostly outdated but I got a good laugh out of some of them.

How do you fix a broken tuba? With a tuba glue

Some of these jokes are a bit outdated for 2021, but they were funny. I found myself laughing out loud at a few of these. Lots of puns, one-liners , light bulb jokes and jokes about engineers. All in all, a great program to listen to and it made me feel very nostalgic.

Although some of the jokes were fun, I found a large number of them to be offensive - Michael Jackson jokes about child abuse as an example. Kristi & Abby Tabby

#19 - 1 Audiobook. Entertaining - a good way to pass time while walking. Didn’t realize it was a short story - kind of disappointing
