Preston was asked by a friend to write a book of Ohio jokes, and she and her
friends and family came up with several zingers. The book was mostly complete
in late 2012, but it took a pandemic for her to actually publish it! Preston hopes
to bring some levity back to American discourse with this collection of
one-hundred and one jokes.</span></p>
