Customer Reviews

An excellent collection of (mostly dirty) limericks

If you are a fan of the limerick, especially if you prefer yours with at least a hint of sexual taint, you will love this book. Most have a lot of it; some are downright ribald if not gross. Nearly every sexual activity that can be practiced alone, or with another living creature, is mentioned at some point. Even the hole in the backyard fence and the anatomically correct male statue are mentioned. As is the case with every collection of jokes, the limericks in this one range from the hysterically funny to the generation of only the slightest of smiles. One of the best collections of dirty limericks ever collected, this book will keep you amused for quite some time.
