The New Hippie Joke Book is 832 one-line jokes. It is my autobiographical account of my pains and sufferings turned into laughs and jokes. Therapist Cathy Meadows, MA told me,""Suffering and torture lends itself to increased creativity."" A creative writing teacher in college taught the class, ""You write like you talk."" The New Hippie Joke Book wrote itself and had a life of its own. I did no research and very little editing of The New Hippie Joke Book. I ""winged"" the book. Laughter is the key to survival and healing. ""Laughter is the best medicine."" ""We can put this out and see where it goes. Can we protect him when it comes through the nose? Poehler wouldn't like it. Either would Fey. Woody wouldn't like it. ""HAVE A NICE DAY!""(an agent's joke) ""It's the end of Times. Time to renew. Be a Jew."" ""On the Jewish New Year they celebrate at the Matza Ball."" ""What is a Buddha pest? Someone that's Hungary."" ""The hippies are back. Without the acid, with the alkaline.""
