Don’s Joke Shop

I’ve been going to Don’s joke shop for over 35 years. I believe this is his shop’s 3^rd location in Quincy Center.
The previous review’s quite accurate, by the way.
If there’s someone you want to spoof or have fun with… just tell Don what you’re planning and he’ll quickly show you the line up of what he has to offer… and patiently, at that. For example: Fiftieth birthdays, retirement joke gifts, magic tricks, «marital aid» type gifts, funny masks, rubber dog poop, etc.
I actually think I’m overdue for a visit… maybe a tailpipe whistle soon (They work AWESOME… absolutely hilarious and LOUD!)
Just so you know, he closes early (4:30).

Owning a joke shop these days is probably about as profitable as owning a hot air balloon dealership thirty years after the Wright Brothers got out of the bicycle business. Nevertheless, if you ever had a penchant for fake vomit and whoopie cushions as a kid, this place is worth a visit.
Don carries every goofy gag, and accessory you can remember, and also a lot of costumes, magic tricks, wigs, props, etc. It will take approximately one minute from the time you enter the shop, for him to begin the corny floor show he has been performing from behind the counter for the last 40 years. Like some kind of wacky Vaudeville ghost, he will tell you the absolute worst jokes, and bust out tons of the ridiculous pranks he peddles. You will find it impossible to not love him.
He doesn’t take credit cards, but when I had to run across the street to the atm, he offered to pay the fee if there was one. Mind you, I was spending less than 20 bucks here; it wasn’t like I was buying a ton of stuff. Again, you will love him.
