Jackson Lanehart
The idea of the Dryoff Book Series came from a joke contest he held in hisclassroom on Monday mornings. Students would submit jokes in a cardboardbox placed in the classroom, appropriately named the 'dry box'. Lanehartwould choose five jokes from the box to read to the class, who would thengrade them on a scale of 1-10, according to the dryness of the joke.The student whose joke received the highest number at the end of the daywould receive a new, straight from the custodian’s office, never been used,brown paper towel, autographed with their name and the words 'Dry Off.' Theidea behind the paper towel was that you never knew when you might haveto dry off.Lanehart has written The Dryoff Book 1: The Mysteriously Silly Solo Edition, TheDryoff Book 2: The Dynamically Dumb Duo Edition, and now The Dryoff Book3.0 for Smarties. These books consist of a compilation of all of the jokes thathave been submitted. He has tried to engage his readers young and old, to enjoythe refreshing and innocent feeling dry humor can bestow. He has meticulouslyillustrated many of the jokes with clipart to give the jokes more of a 'dry feeling.'This is the third of four books, with The Not So Dryoff Book 4: The CriticallyAshamed Insensitive Edition as the last in the series. 3
