I found bars all over America on the internet and figured—why not ask the experts? Let’s face it—bartenders hear everything. The heartbreaks, the hookups, the hangovers… and the jokes. So, I figured, why not ask the pros to share their best ones? I mailed letters—yes, real letters—asking each bartender to send me their best joke. I even included paper, a stamped return envelope, and of course… a tip for the bartender. To my surprise, the jokes (and a lot more) started rolling in. Stickers, coasters, T-shirts, even a guitar pick. What started as a goofy idea turned into a nationwide pen-pal project fueled by laughter, good will, and the kind of human connection you can’t get from a comment thread. This book is what happens when you mix a few drinks, a wild idea, and a whole lot of bartender humor. So, pull up a stool, crack a beer, and get ready to laugh your way across America—one bar, one joke, and one questionable punchline at a time.
