Publisher's Synopsis
Hold onto your seats for this great adventure. It's the 'Zest' thing you will ever read. What's wrong with the world today? Not sure? Well let me tell you. It's too bloody serious! We would all live better in a more respectful, peaceful and happier society IF we told jokes to each other. But even if I told you one of THOSE joke and you didn't find it funny, then that would only mean one thing. What? You may ask. It would mean YOU haven't bloody got it! Got what? You may also ask. The Chuckle Factor of course! But then YOU may insist by saying, But I haven't heard those jokes, so how can you say I haven't got it?' Oh WE can tell, I tell you! Oh yes WE can tell alright, what YOU 'Past People' are like! WE know what kind of people YOU are in this time and the next, just by the way YOU act, - by pulling that unfunny face of yours with your fake smiles and loutish laughter, like YOU really meant it! Oh really? Yes really! Oh by the way, I say. Do YOU know where the jokes are written? No! Where? Of course YOU don't, because it's top secret. But as you've probably guessed by now, it's written in a book. Then yes, you've sussed it! How smart you are! It's in a jokebook - of course - and WE have it hidden! Ah! Ah! Oh and it's no ordinary book as you're also probably guessed by now, so now YOU would be absolutely right again. it's like the holy grail of a jokebook. And the jokes in it have been written and told by the greatest stand-up comics on the face of the earth. But hold on a second, don't count your chickens yet, there's is some bad news. Yes YOU heard it coming. The news is a lot worse than what Robert reads in his camouflaged newspaper I tell YOU! What's that? YOU may ask.Ok let me tell YOU. One hundred and ninety five years into the future where Robert, David and Terence are from, something very serious is happening. The future is being altered. And it's all because of the seriousness of the past which has caused serious ripples in time, which are changing it. The angry past is catching up with the future because of an unfortunate crash. I will tell YOU about that later. But the only person who can 'un-crash' it back to happier times is David Brown. What a sensational double act they were/are. You see what they do is, they both travel back and forwards in time - also with Terence - to change it for the better. To put it back to how it once was by changing those serious minds and battered souls with the power of laughter. But! Yes and it's a BIG BUT! It's not as easy as it seems, simply because there is a race of seriously unfunny aliens called the Zolonians and who are also a double comedy act and who are insanely envious and jealous of Robert and David because their jokes and comedy acts are a thousand times better than theirs. The Zolonians who are also cop impersonators keep saying it's their joke book. But with the quality of their jokes you wouldn't think so. And all THEM, the Zolonians want is their own superstardom and respect and their cringingly bad jokes heard instead. But that would only create a permanent and miserable future ahead. But David Brown has a plan with a little help from his shiny friends. and who also keeps us all entertained on his acoustic guitar. It's a plan that can not fail. But what comes between him and his plan is the brakes of a cola truck driven by Big Lefty. That's the crash I mentioned before. They are all stuck in the past. And who is Big Lefty? What's his role in all this? YOU may ask. Well he has a plan too but do YOU really want to know what that plan is? I don't think so. I hope not anyway. One other thing I can say is a very short man with alopecia named Peter is of little but valuable help. Oh and Dipper. And who are the Nundex Nuns? And why is Robert's and David's time machine resembling a giant lemon? it's the 'Zest' I tell YOU!
