A collection of 696 jokes, riddles, and tongue twisters on the subject of school.

These wacky jokes and riddles cover a range of topics, from dinosaurs to cars, turning them all into pure fun. Why did the boy put a banana peel next to his bed? So he could slip out of bed in the morning. What do you say to someone who has an egg on his head? The yolk’s on you! A man opened a dresser and a dozen people fell out. Why? Because it was a Missing Persons Bureau. Every one of these hundreds of quips is sidesplitting!

Riddles for children, including "What is green and goes slam, slam, slam, slam?" (A four-door pickle) and "What snack do robots serve at parties?" (Assorted nuts.).
