The New Zealand Sports Joke Book by Stephen Stratford

Sporting passions meet a very Kiwi sense of humour

Good Condition - with light surface scuffs, minor edge wear and slight cover curl. Large discount sticker on the front and a retail price label on the back.

Selected by Stephen Stratford and introduced by Peter Williams, this collection finds jokes in the habits, rivalries and frustrations of the sporting world. Rugby and golf share the field with tennis, skiing and aerobics, as players and spectators alike become subjects for a punchline. Short jokes and longer comic stories make the book easy to dip into, with recognisable sporting situations providing the starting point for exaggeration and wordplay. New Zealand references give the collection a local flavour while its range of activities leaves room for more than one kind of enthusiast. The New Zealand Sports Joke Book offers light reading for anyone who enjoys the comedy that follows when competitive ambition meets ordinary human fallibility.
