Chicken Chistes

Chicken Chistes is a fun book that brings back the humor found in everyday living. It is composed of eighty short stories that bring a smile or a chuckle as they examine the human condition universal to every culture.

For those of us who allow ourselves to think like children, the anecdotes will remind us that life's small moments are worth remembering.
