Jack Handey

I haven't watched Saturday Night Live for years. I do remember Jack Handey.  This one cracks me up.  I need this book.

One thing kids like is to be tricked.  For instance, I was going
to take my nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old
burned-out warehouse. "Oh no," I said, "Disneyland burned down."

He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a
pretty good joke.  I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but

decided to go home instead!
