The book had some interesting jokes. I also enjoyed the puns but I think this joke about the monastery really made me laugh.

Who makes a joke with nuns and the monastery? I mean that reeled me off so bad when I read it.

I didn't find it funny until I re-read it again. Also, the way the conveys his book is so light and most of the time funny.

I didn't have a particular favorite joke, but I really enjoyed his puns! They undoubtedly contributed to making the subject less serious.

Yes I agree with you because the joke felt unique. I do not have a favorite joke, but I laughed at every joke that the author made.

The quote, ""Who handles the financial matters in a monastery? That's nun of your business." cracked me up. :D :D :D :D

My favorite joke is "I have a friend who is an IRS agent and she's often completely exhausted. You might say her job is very taxing!" This is my favorite quote because it's a sly pun, but also because it was incorporated within the book in a seamless fashion. Also, these jokes break up the seriousness of the content of the book in a lighthearted way.

Yeah, this joke is my favorite one in the whole book. There are others as well but I like this one. :wink:

This is like the funniest. I simply understood that the author was trying not to get the book looking too serious.

Mine is also “Who handles the financial matters in a monastery? That's nun of your business.” This is so hilarious

Among other jokes, this was my absolute favorite:

"I live in Minnesota where we have skyways and the Mall of America (MOA). By the way, I've been to MOA once. As I like to say, 'once you've seen a shopping center, you've seen a mall."

It was quite subtle, but really funny.
