"Just grease her hips and push."
It's been so long since I made love, I can't remember who gets tied up.

She: "We don't have one."
He: "Where would you like one?"

If you yearn for additional sparkle and zest in your presentations, you have
come to the right place. This book is primarily a "Humor Resource" with a massive reservoir of clever and useable Illustrations.
Haven't we all prepared for a presentation hoping for a Home Run? Sure we have. When we speak, we expect the ball to go right over the fence.
But often. we have come up dry. And surely you remember your own failed
experience(s). Just when you wanted to go into your "Home Run Trot," you
realized, "you didn't quite get all of the ball."
The problem? You had no time to look for hilarious and profound material. Wouldn't it have been invaluable to have a vast quality collection right at your fingertips? Well now you do.
Get 'Em Laughing... and
Bring the house down!

About the Author
The author compiled the material for this book over many years as a Key Executive for a Fortune 100 Company and as a Management Consultant and Professional Engineer (P.E.) advising some of the world's best-known corporations.
More importantly, he was privileged to attend the presentations of hundreds of Master Speakers: Men and women who were truly accomplished.
Decades of collecting notes of their speeches, and saving unique published articles, left him with a huge library of sensational Illustrations. Most of the items in this book came out of that valuable resource.
Now they are available to you in this book.
Gene and his wife, Joyce, are now semi-retired and commute between the Palm Beaches and the Smokey Mountains of North Carolina. He is currently finishing his third book and spends a minimum of three mornings a week playing Half-Century Softball.
