Drinking Jokes (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Break the ice at any party with this fun book of one-liners and short jokes. The first section is all drinking jokes that everyone can relate to, and the second section is a massive collection of my comedy gags from back in my social media days. The third section is a small selection of jokes I did back when I was a part-time on-air personality at a rap station in San Francisco. And the fourth section is a take on the classic Russian fictional character k---- who, of course, is "renowned" for his unrelentingly-dark humor. These jokes maintain an edge, and so no one is safe from being teased. The work is non-partisan, so everyone comes in for a solid roasting. And while the first section can apply to drinkers of all types, it was written largely under the influence of wine, mostly Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon.

Publishing Notes: The section on k---- has been written recently and added to the manuscript, making this 2024 update to the book longer than previous editions. And I tried my best to remove as many typos from the previous version as I could (considering I must work without an editor, proofreader or designer). Furthermore, the hyperlinks have been updated and a primitive table of contents has been added into the text itself. Due to a programming glitch, you may have to manually scroll to the first chapter as it might not be included in auto-generated table-of-contents version presented by the distributor.

Autorenporträt

Mel C. Thompson is a retired wage slave who survived by working through temp agencies and guard agencies. Unable to survive in the real world of full-time, permanent work, he migrated from building to building, going wherever his agencies sent him, doing any type of work he could feign competency in and staying as long as those fragile arrangements could last. He somehow managed to get a B.A in Philosophy from Cal-State Fullerton in spite of his learning disorders and health problems. Unable to sustain family life due to depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, lack of transportation and lack of income, he lives alone in low-income housing and wanders around California on buses and trains. He began writing at the age of 14 and continues till the current day. (He turns 64 in June of 2023). In his early years he wrote pathetic love poetry until, in his thirties, he was engulfed by cynicism and fell in with a group of largely antisocial poets who wrote about the underground life of drugs, sex, alcohol, poverty, prostitution, heresy, isolation and alienation. In his fortes he turned to prose and began to write religious fiction with an emphasis on the comedic aspect of theology and philosophy. He now writes short novels focusing on the attempt to find meaning in a economic world beset with money laundering, unethical marketing, contraband smuggling, human trafficking, patent trolling, corrupt contracting and every manner of spiritual and psychological desperation and degradation. When he is not writing, he wanders from hospital to medical clinic to surgical room attempting to sustain what little health he has left after a lifetime of complications resulting from birth defects and genetic problems. When he is able, he engages in such hobbies as reading, walking, yoga and meditation; and whenever there is any money left over from his healthcare-related quests, he goes to wine tastings and searches for foodie-related bargains. Before the pandemic, he spent many years gaming various travel-points systems and wrangled many free trips to Europe. He is divorced and has no children, no pets, no real estate, no stocks nor any other assets beyond the $550 in his savings account. His career peaked in the early 2000s when he did comedy gags for a radio station and had about 10,000 listeners per week. However, currently, he may have as few as five active readers on any given day. He no longer has the stamina to promote his work and only finds new readers through ran...
