Mind over matter: a general theory of jokes about the stupid and the canny -- Blondes, sex, and the French -- Jewish women and Jewish men -- Sex between men : places, occupations, and classes -- The great American lawyer joke cycle -- The rise of the Soviet joke and the fall of the Soviet Union -- Conclusion
Jokes and Targets takes up an appealing and entertaining topic -- the social and historical origins of jokes about familiar targets such as rustics, Jewish spouses, used car salesmen, and dumb blondes. Christie Davies explains why political jokes flourished in the Soviet Union, why Europeans tell jokes about American lawyers but not about their own lawyers, and why sex jokes often refer to France rather than to other countries
