Jokelore: Humorous Folktales from Indiana (Midland Book) - Softcover
"... extremely valuable... enthusiastically recommend[ed]... " ―Western Folklore
These hilarious and slightly off-color stories, although gathered in Indiana, reflect the ancient origin and universality of the joke. The chuckle, the grin, the uncontrolled belly-laugh evoked by Jokelore attest to the popularity of this ancient form of folk literature.

From the Back Cover:
These hilarious and slightly off-color stories, although gathered in Indiana, reflect the ancient origin and universality of the joke. Jokes told about Hoosiers are adaptations of the same tales told about Kentuckians or Poles. Baker has selected a broad sampling of folk humor, including jokes about married couples, drunks, salesmen, politicians, and golfers. The joke, risque or downright silly, remains one of the most popular forms of folktales in the modern world.
