SIEGELAUB, Seth (ed.)
The Joke Book: Collected by Seth Siegelaub

JEWISH HAIKU
Like a bonsai tree,
your terrible posture
at my dinner table.

The only reason I would take up exercising is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.

The Joke Book is the first printed edition of the complete collection of the jokes and messages file that was found on Seth Siegelaub’s computer by his partner Marja Bloem. It contains jokes, quotes and pieces of advice that he collected since 1999 and regularly redistributed via e-mail amongst his friends. With contributions by Alex Alberto, John Baldessari, Marja Bloem, Myrna Bloom, Martin Browne, Alan Kennedy, David Kunzle, Joel Miller, Loren Miller, Kay Robertson, Laurent Sauerwein, Seth Siegelaub, Joan Simon, Kira Simon-Kennedy, Peter Sinclair, Steven Wright, and an introduction by Huan Hsu (written after a long conversation with Marja Bloem).
