louis sacher

that's pronounced "sacker"

....

anyway, have you read any books by louis sacher? i've read dogs don't tell jokes, all three Wayside School books and Holes. They're all very creative and funny. Wayside school is probably the very best of his works, thpugh. it's um...original and unique.

Dogs Don't Tell Jokes! That is a great book! I remember reading it a long time ago when I didn't feel well. I still don't find the "How do you tell if a worm is a boy or a girl" joke, though.

What's cookin'?
Mashed potatoes and gravy.

lol, i love this joke from dogs don't tell jokes:

three criminals had commited a robbery. a policeman put the first criminal against the wall. then the criminal shouted, "EARTHQUAKE!" he got away. the second criminal was taken to the wall. he shouted, "TORNADO!" and got away. the third criminal was mrs. snitzberry. the police put his gun to her back and said "ready...aim..." then mrs. snitzberry yelled, "FIRE"!!

hee hee...i was cracking up just typing that joke

Oh hey, I remember the Wayside books... man, that was a long time ago.

There was an entire one of quirky algebra problems, if I recall...

Man, Wayside School was the best about 9 or 10 years ago. They were definitely very original.
