Book Reviews of Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling's Disgustingly Dirty Joke Book
Book Review: Funny, better than sex.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book starts out with a 5 star intro, and then goes down hill from there. F-Jackie. This book is only good for Howards intro, and lets face it, the only reason anyone would buy it, is for such.Book Review: The funniest book EVER written!
Summary: 5 Stars
Jackie Martling's Disgustingly Dirty Joke Book ranks as one of the funniest joke books ever written. In fact, dare I say, it may even be the funniest book EVER written. Johann Gutenberg can stop rolling over in his grave because his invention (movable type) has finally been put to excellent use. I suggest that hotel owners toss the Gideon's Bible and put a copy of Jackie's new book in its place. To all the Japanese homemakers reading this review I respectfully recommend that you replace the items in your kamidana (home altar for votive offerings) with a copy of Jackie Martling's Disgustingly Dirty Joke Book. Homo arrigato gozaimas. So far, I've read Jackie's book three times. The great thing about a joke book is that you can read it dozens of times without getting bored. Jackie's book is a joke wrapped in an enigma (or do I mean to write enema?) I admit that after the first reading I was less than impressed by Jackie's tome. But that was due to jealousy. After all, I'm just a mere mortal, and a poor specimen at that -- Jackie is a Joke-God. Or in Greek mythology -- a Humus from Olympus. As if this weren't enough, Jackie also has the privilege of working for Howard Stern -- talk about being fortunate. All he has to do each workday is look at Robin's bosom, read newspapers, eat Ranch 1, ogle naked lesbians, write bits and feed Howard one-liners. Wow! However, after reading Jackie's book I can attest to the fact that Jackie's waters run deep. Each page was a revelation. Each chapter a catharsis (or do I mean to write catheter?) of discovery. To anyone who has ever regarded Jackie Martling as a mental lightweight and a mere purveyor of nicknacks -- I say wake up and smell the humor. Jackie has drawn a line in the levity that lesser comedians will be unable to traverse. By the way, I owe Jackie Martling a debt of gratitude. During a recent dinner party I was able to land several new clients as a direct result of telling a few of Jackie's hilarious jokes. Now, everyone says I'm the life of the party. Imagine. Yesterday a wallflower, today a bon-vivant spouting bon-mots. One of my favorite parts of the book was Howard Stern's foreword. To any tightwads reading this review, I can say without reservation that the foreword alone justifies the $20.00 cover price. (For the truly penny-pinched -- amazon.com has it for $14.00.) One thing that I wish Howard could have expounded on was Jackie Martling's arrest record. Howard mentions that Jackie was arrested for receiving stolen property. Did said property -- perish the thought -- include purloined jokes? All I can say, is that for a man who barely has time to pull-pud, fight traffic, and entertain annoying relatives, Howard must love Jackie very much to have written ten pages. Kudos! Jackie is an equal opportunity jokeman. When it comes to poking good-natured fun at his fellow man Jackie is without par. Every ethnic group must run the gauntlet of Jackie's rapier wit. As a person with a mixture of Black, Mexican, Hermaphrodite, Jewish, Polish, and Arabic ancestry I felt particularly eviscerated. But despite being savagely scathed by Jackie's humor I actually feel strangely liberated and stronger for the experience by Jackie's willingness to tell jokes that in a more restrictive society might be taboo. For these reasons I feel justified in saying that Jackie is the Don Rickles of the coming millennium. One of the most amazing aspects of Jackie's book is the fact that he managed to cull a selection from the thousands of great jokes that he has stored in his computer-like brain. Talk about a Herculean task. Each joke has been honed to perfection and written with an economy of words that will undoubtedly set the new standard for aspiring joke tellers the world over. The only negative thing about such a rearrangement of the topography of "Jokedom" is that it may prove impossible for Jackie to top himself. Jackie if you're reading this, I have a small favor to ask. Would it be possible for you to donate/sell my wife and I a jar of your sperm? We're considering adding another child to our family, and if it could have your humor and my wife's hygiene habits that would be fabulous. Come on you lazy *@$#!%. I'll pay you well -- I'm not cheap. P.S. I hope Jackie adds a few new items to his Jokeland catalog as I've already got doubles of everything (including the hot dog relish). Please excuse any spelling or grammatical errors in this review as it's difficult to compose a satisfactory review on-line. "F-Jackie!" No! God bless him, and Timmy, too. I score Jackie's book an 11.

Summary: 5 Stars
Jackie writes a good book. If it was not for Howard Stern, he would not sell one book. Although, the book is funny!!!!Book Review: VERY FUNNY, VERY OFFENSIVE, NOT FOR EVERYONE
Summary: 4 Stars
JACKIE MARTLING ATTACKS EVERY ETHNIC GROUP, EVERY RACE AND EVERY RELIGION. ALOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE OFFENDED BY THIS BOOK, BUT I LOVED IT. I'M SMILING ABOUT IT JUST WRITING THIS. IF YOU HAVE A PERVERSE SENSE OF HUMOR, GO FOR IT.
