Sometimes life hands you lemons. In this collection of jokes, autobiography, and personal philosophy, author and businessman Dr. J. T. Dock Houk makes an ocean of lemonade. Lifes a Joke compiles four books Its All About Me, My Life with a Girl, Kids and Pets, and Life Around Us recounting 1,162 jokes, funny anecdotes, and descriptions of Sunday morning comics, clippings of which Dock has been collecting for an incredible amount of decades.

As the author writes, What I mean to convey by saying life is a joke is that humor has helped me over some of the rough spots by showing me a side of life that either explains what I am feeling, or gives me a glimpse of something I also see. Humor, whose visual expression is often a joke, makes me smile or even laugh out loud. And sometimes, if you dont laugh, you might cry. So crack open Lifes a Joke and crack a smile. You might learn a little wisdom but if not, at least youll get a laugh.
