Here are hundreds of them: anecdotes, one-liners, and deft definitions, as well as hysterical quotations from sources ranging from Mae West to Ronald Reagan. Here, to help you deliver this sure-fire material, are extensive tips on selecting the right joke, adapting it to fit the audience, practicing the delivery, and getting it across to best effect. Perfect for all occasions-weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, business presentations, and many more-this is an indispensable source for any speaker who wants to captivate and entertain an audience.
