Finally — the perfect book for all of you “Saturday Night Live” fans. Much like the show, it requires little intelligence and a good sense of humor.

Back from the last few good “SNL” years — the Farley/Sandler era — is Jack Handey. Who could forget the picture of the beautiful meadow or bubbling brook, followed by the unavoidable absurd comment?

Handey represents every freaky, bizarre, insane and just plain stupid person that you know and would never want to talk to face-to-face, but would just love to get inside their twisted head.

Well, now you can (again) because the ever-hilarious “Deep Thoughts” are now available in yet another portable version titled “The Lost Deep Thoughts: Don’t Fight the Deepness.”

As a follow-up to his four previous bestsellers, “Deep Thoughts,” “Deeper Thoughts,” “Deepest Thoughts,” and “Fuzzy Memories,” this could be his best yet.

In this installment, Handey is sly about making us laugh. He makes a blatantly stupid comment: “One good thing about hell, at least, is you can probably pee wherever you want to,” and with just the turn of a page becomes sarcastically funny: “If you think a weakness can be turned into a strength, I hate to tell you this, but that’s another weakness.”

Every so often, Handey borders on an intelligent idea, but he’s just so sick in the head he can’t quite pull it off.

“Instead of half-mast, maybe you could fly a flag at three-quarter-mast for a guy who’s in a coma. Then, if he gets worse, the flag gets lower, or if he gets better, it starts to move up, so you can just look at the flag and see how he’s doing.”

Handey’s off-the-wall humor even manages to relate to college life. “A lot of times when you first start out on a project you think, This is never going to be finished. But then it is, and you think, Wow it wasn’t even worth it.”

And just so we’re clear on this: “The Lost Deep Thoughts” will make you laugh. Don’t think for a second that you’re too good for such no-brain humor, because, frankly, you’re probably not.

And just in case you’ve never experienced “SNL,” you’re deprived, but you can still enjoy this book.

Besides, you can justify the $9.95 price because some of his advice, believe it or not, is actually good.

“If you lose your job, your marriage and your mind all in one week, try to lose your mind first, because then the other stuff won’t matter that much.”
