Suggestion for a Good Finance "Funny" Book

I'm not looking to learn, or gain any insight into anything finance whatsoever. I just recall laughing out loud multiple times while reading Monkey Business and Liar's Poker. I'd like to get there again. Comedy films just don't do it for me.

Any suggestions?
 
I just remembered "The Quants". If you never read that Andy it's worth a shot.

My co-worker is recommending that I read some more Michael Lewis books (The Big Short, Travels in the Big Third World, etc.) and "When Genius Failed"

All of Michael Lewis' books are funny and he is a great story teller although his opinion is clearly coming out all the time.
 
"When Genius Failed" is not funny but it's a page turner.

You can also read some of William Poundstone books. I enjoyed "Fortune's Formula".
