Book Review: We're Number 1: Purdue and Indiana Jokes

 

The aesthetic of a joke may change over time, but the concept of college humor is here to stay.

The jokes collected in this small, 1970s paperback preserve the history of humor as it stood at the two best universities in Indiana.

Making fun of both the Boilermakers and the Hoosiers, We're Number 1 contains all the fun, sometimes lengthy jokes that were exchanged all those years ago.

With the 200th birthday of the state of Indiana this year, this collection is a perfect way to appreciate jokes throughout the universities' past and the rivalry that runs deep between the two.
