Hmmm I think I remember a few failed jokes but I found the actual coverage of the language pretty good, wdyt? I guess for a book like this you are not really looking for a comedy best seller, no? :-)

I guess the thing is that when an attempt at humor fails, which is obviously subjective, it starts to distract from the content.

I agree it is subjective. I actually open Clojure for The Brave and True book from now and then just because I find so much of it truly hilarious. The hilarity is what really helped me get Clojure. I also like the Land of Lisp and find it funny as well.
