  Quick Quips & Longer Jokes
  by Kevin Goldstein-Jackson

Eleven fun-filled years have passed since KG-J’s last joke book. Naturally, it takes time for jokes to be collected; to develop, mature, and fester, and then to be refined and improved! But it has been well worth the wait.

As the title indicates, we have here hundreds of new jokes, short and long, and ideally laid out by subject, and indexed. The speechmaker or raconteur can turn quickly to find the jokes or snippets to ‘humorize’ his text.

You may wonder why we haven’t put a picture of the author on the cover. Well, we have our reasons, but quite apart from that he tells us that at school he looked like a short anorexic version of Harry Potter, and this drew him to the attention of the school bullies. It was to overcome this problem that he developed his distinctive sense of humour, learning to make ‘put-down’ jokes and remarks which deterred the bullies from further confrontation. (Apparently, it's still working!)

  Apt and Amusing Quotations
  by G F Lamb

Pungent, pithy, humorous, telling, sage or maybe just cunningly contrived, the judicious use of quotation has given pleasure and attracted interest since time began.

Here are over 1,500 Apt and Amusing Quotations which Geoffrey Lamb has skilfully and enthusiastically drawn together by topic from A to Z.

What better way to pass an hour or two steeped in amusement, or to 'salt' a forthcoming speech you must prepare? Immerse yourself among the sayings of the famous and infamous from ancient to modern times. Perhaps remembering, as W H Thackeray remarked, "A good laugh is sunshine in a house".
