What's the difference between an engineering major, a finance major, and an English major? An engineering major says: "How can we build it?" A finance major says: "What will it cost?" An English major says: "Would you like fries with that?" I've spent the last thirty-two years (B.A. in English, Sonoma State University, 1977) asking people "Would you like fries with that?", raising a family, trying to eke out a living as a writer, waiting tables, and living life. Years ago I started writing down jokes I heard, in the bars and restaurants I've worked, on napkins and beer mats. This book is the scum off the pond of my life as a waiter and bartender. It's nasty, but never forget; scum is nasty, but also teeming with life and possibilities. So, "A man walks into a bar..." --from the Introduction to "A Man Walks Into A Bar...A Compendium of Filthy, Uncouth, Lewd, Lusty, and Lascivious Jokes--Written, Compiled, Borrowed, and Stolen by Rob Loughran" (available January 2006) In addition to the 690 page "A Man Walks Into a Bar..." this store contains the slimmer volumes: The Official "I Hate Women" Jokebook,The Official Dirty Johnny Jokebook, The Official Blonde Jokebook, The Official Doctor and Lawyer Jokebook, The Official Love and Marriage Jokebook, The Official Nasty & Blasphemous Religious Jokebook, The Official Obscene Old Age Jokebook, The Official X-Rated Animal Jokebook, The Official A ---- Walks Into a Bar Jokebook, The Official "Stop Me If You've Heard This One" Jokebook, The Official Funny, Funny Kidz Jokebook (available February 2006), Who Cares If George W.

"Jokes of the proper kind, properly told, can do more to enlighten questions of politics, philosophy, and literature than any number of dull arguments." --Isaac Asimov
