It only takes a minute to download the book so very soon you can be reading great jokes like:
“Mamã, posso usar soutien, agora que já tenho dezasseis anos?”
“Não, David.”
usar – wear
soutien – bra
or this classic: –
Um homem de oitenta anos foi ao seu médico.
“Vou casar-me na próxima semana, senhor doutor.”
“Muito bem,” disse o médico. “Que idade tem a sua amiga?”
“Dezoito,” respondeu o homem.
“Meu deus!” disse o médico. “Devo avisá-lo que qualquer atividade na cama poderá ser fatal.”
“Bem,” disse o homem. “Se ela morrer, morre.”
casar-se – be married
responder – reply
meu deus – my goodness!
avisar – warn
morrer – die

Learn Portuguese With Jokes – Audio!
There is now a new version of Learn Portuguese With Jokes. The book contains 100 audio files provided by two people: Giselle from Brazil and David from Portugal. At the moment the book is only available from Apple Books (for people with Macs, iPads or iPhones) but hopefully that will change soon. It is possible to download a sample of the book so you can check it out and decide whether your Portuguese is good enough to understand the jokes. Here’s an example:
Menino: (no jardim) Desculpe, Senhora Jones, pode devolver-me a minha seta, por favor?
Senhora Jones: Claro Richard. Onde está?
Menino: No lado do seu gato.
jardim – garden
seta – arrow
lado – side
