"The world would be a better place if we all took a little more time to make each other laugh. This pithy little collection of jokes is the perfect way to get that started, or to carry on the good work. Collected from the readers of The Herald newspaper, there's something here to amuse everyone and to tickle the funny bone of even the most sombre among us. There are jokes, observations and an abundance of silliness in these pages, so let's get laughing and be just a bit nicer to each other.

Here's a taste of just how silly people can be:

BREAKING NEWS. Reader Dorothy Fowler informs us Donald Trump's library burned down. Both books were destroyed, and tragically, he hadn't finished colouring the second one.

Curious about all things culinary, reader Paula Clark is eager to learn how to make ice-cream. ""I've decided to go to sundae school,"" she says.

""What prize do you give someone who hasn't moved in a year?"" asks Sue McGivern. ""A trophy.""

Globetrotting gadabout Pete McNeill recalls a memorable visit to the UK capital. ""I shared a London taxi with a group of spotty youths,"" he says. ""Must have been an acne carriage.""

""I'm invited to a hair-washing party,"" says reader Sarah Winston. ""Now I can't think of a reason not to go.""

""If a Tyrannosaurus Rex got a job manning a market stall,"" muses reader Tim Croft, ""would that make it a small arms dealer?""

And well-travelled reader Sue Neely says Hawaiian people don't laugh loudly. ""It's just a low ha,"" she explains.

So whether you prefer to laugh out loud or you're from Hawaii, there's something for everyone in Laughter Lines."

Lorne Jackson began his career as a diarist at a precociously youthful age, when his parents bought him a blank notepad at seven-years-old. When he realised that he was unlikely to witness much in the way of momentous events from his vantage point in a West Lothian council house, Lorne took a sabbatical from diary writing. In the ensuing years Lorne worked as a travel writer, columnist, books editor, restaurant reviewer, feature writer and all-round Jackson-of-all-trades, before returning to his initial love when he took over the fabled mantle of Herald Diarist.
