About the Book

EXAMPLES:

Because every time she got hot, he would beat her with a shovel.

Josh, age 4, on seeing a couple kissing:
"He's trying to steal her chewing gum."

Sign: "For Sale - Parachute. Only used once. Small stain"

On a virgin's tombstone: "Returned To Sender Unopened"

What do you want on your tombstone? My 9-year-old grandson Trevor said, "Pepperoni, cheese and mushrooms."

Georgia Tech School Rule: "How do you get a University of Georgia cheerleader into your dorm room?"
"Just grease her hips and push."

It's been so long since I made love, I can't remember who gets tied up.
-Joan Rivers

The towels were so thick there, I could hardly close my suitcase.
-Yogi Berra

She: "You'd better go. My husband just drove up."
He: "Where's the back door?"
She: "We don't have one."
He: "Where would you like one?"

These are some of the thousands of jokes, one-liners and quotes on just about any subject, crammed into this book.

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.
