Query: This Cabbie Needs a New Route

I've purchaed any number of joke books over the years and the expectation is that you'll find one or two stories that you can actually add to your repotoire. Sadly, this collection of dated material is so bad that if it's what I was hearing on a daily basis, I would have jumped to the unemployment line or at least feined hearing loss. Not only is the material old, it's old material that's not very funny. I'm surprised this one found a publisher. It makes me think I should start compiling my own collection of stories, perhaps this books only redeeming value.
