As you chuckle through these tales you find the thread of self-effacing, good-natured warmth that characterizes Appalachia. -Southern Living From the people of the Appalachian Mountains comes a special brand of humor: dry, colorful and earthy, aimed sometimes at the hillbilly's own foibles, but often at the outside world's pretenses, too. As longtime fans of and contributors to Appalachian lore, Jones and Wheeler collected the material for this popular and timeless volume at the Festival of Appalachian Humor sponsored by the Appalachian Center at Berea College. Includes jokes and yarns on such topics as hunting, lawyers and doctors, alcohol, and religion, along with essays on the nature and origins of humor. This hilarious collection based in Appalachia America will teach readers the importance of resourcefulness, trustworthiness and respect.

August House Pub Inc

Sometimes laughter is the best medicine. In the midst of all that may bother us―crime, drugs, poisons in the water, poor health―people still take time to make each other laugh. If you listen on the street corners, in the cafes, at the kitchen tables of America, you'll hear people telling funny stories and jokes. Hometown humor helps pull us through. In this book, Loyal Jones and Billy Edd Wheeler have gathered the best of America's hometown humor. The selections range from one-liners (“My wife's cooking was so bad, the flies got together to mend the screens”) to epigrams (“To do good is noble, but to tell others to do good is also noble and a lot less trouble”), to longer stories (like the one about why the Devil tried to give Oral Roberts, Jim Bakker, and Jimmy Swaggart back to St. Peter after they were assigned to his place). Contributors include regular folks, as well as celebrities like Sarah Ophelia Cannon (a.k.a. Minnie Pearl), Tom T. Hall, John Ed McConnell, the late Sen. Sam J. Ervin, and the nine students of the Clinton County Elementary School in Clinton County, Kentucky.

Hometown Humor

As he has proved in his previous collections, Laughter in Appalachia and Curing the Cross-Eyed Mule (co-edited with Loyal Jones), Billy Edd Wheeler has an ear for jokes. A singer-songwriter for more than four decades, he traded his fair share of them during recording sessions in Nashville, and the result is this book.
