Vittigheder er korte historier, der bliver fortalt for at vække latter og morskab. De kan være tidløse, men afspejler som regel deres samtid. Mange gange er de opstået som en kommentar til tiden, måske med en kritisk undertone. Enkelte typer vitser forsøger at have et anstrøg af filosofisk underfundighed, mens andre bevæger sig mere over i det skøre og rent underholdende. Vittigheder kan sige mere end mange akademiske ord og kan kaste et humoristisk lys over selv dystre emner. At leve i et lorteland kan lyde forfærdeligt, men forklaringen på, hvordan det er at leve et sådant sted, kan være yderst morsom. Som taler i både professionelle og private sammenhænge er en god vittighed eller en munter historie god at have med i baglommen. Så går talen bedre, og man kan være heldig at fange folks opmærksomhed.Denne samling af vittigheder berører en række forskellige emner såsom alderdom, parforhold, fodbold osv., ligesom der er vittigheder om forskellige faggrupper. Nogle af disse er tydeligvis hyppigere forekommende end andre. Det gælder præster, læger, lystfiskere, toldere og sågar frisører.Et særligt afsnit er forbeholdt morsomme historier om berømte personer lige fra Johan Skjoldborg til F.P. Jac. Endelig er der en samling af hvem-hvad hvor-vitser og vittigheder fortalt af Storm P. og andre komikere og entertainere. Sidst i bogen findes der en lille håndfuld sjove og opbyggelige historier.Uddrag af bogenManden i guillotinen:”Det hjalp dog på hovedpinen.”Og så var der tennisspilleren, der vågnede op med et sæt.Forfatteren Soya havde en hund, han kaldte for ”Satan”. På sin havelåge havde han skrevet: ”Luk lågen for Satan.”Manden på restauranten til tjeneren: ”Tjener, der er en flue i min suppe!”Tjeneren: ”Et øjeblik, så skal jeg kalde på udsmideren.” “Julen har jo sine bekymringer. Jeg er f.eks. altid bange for, at min kone skal give mig noget, som jeg ikke har råd til.””Fransk er meget nemt. ”Hest” hedder ”cheval”, og sådan er det hele vejen igennem!””Livet er et cirkus. Man kommer ind og bukker, render rundt, bukker igen og går ud.”Om forfatterenKnud Munck er født 1951 i Holstebro. Han har i en livsalder virket som sognepræst, men også været biblioteksmedhjælper, ungdomsleder, AF-konsulent og højskolelærer.Han har altid været på jagt efter gode historier og som prædikant og formidler forsøgt at bevare et smil og lidt humor, selv i dystre situationer.
