The Education of Hyman Kaplan by Leo Rosten.
Catch XXII is my favourite.
Kurt Vonnegut's books have excellent and witty humor (Deadeye Dick, Bluebird, Timequake etc).
Richard Feynman's popular works - Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!, What Do You Care What Other People Think? made me laugh quite a lot.
Eyes of the Overworld by Jack Vance, though I wouldn't call it directly funny, but there's some great absurd/ironic/dark humor in it.
