Lasso Them With Laughter The way to your listeners' hearts is through their funny bones. Want to grab their attention? Do it with humor. Need to drive home a point they'll remember? Nothing does it better than a rib-tickling anecdote--like the ones in this book. 1002 Humorous Illustrations for Public Speaking is jam-packed with one-liners, jokes, humorous stories, and pithy proverbs for just about any subject or circumstance under the sun. Pick your topic. Appearances, Communication, Opportunity, Prayer, Self-Image, Sports . . . these and plenty more come to you conveniently alphabetized, numbered, and indexed for instant referencing. There's even a space for you to log what you use, so fresh nuttiness doesn't become old chestnuts. Tested by preachers and public speakers, this ensemble of humor is just the ticket to get your audience laughing--and listening.
As a public speaker, I value humor as a way to open people's hearts and minds. This is a fairly good resource book for that purpose. It's well organized by subject, and some of the jokes are very good.
Great Source of Good, Clean Jokes
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is a great source for good, clean AND funny jokes. They are arranged by topic and can be indexed by subtopic. There is also a place where you can record the use of each joke so you don't repeat yourself. I've receive quite a bit of good feedback from the jokes I've used in my sermons.
