Doc Blakely's Handbook of Wit and Pungent Humor by James Blakely Pdf

There is a magical ingredient that, when added to a speech, is one of the most powerful attention-getters known to mankind - humor. The average audiences expect speeches to be dull; they anticipate boredom by an unimaginative dialog. Humor, if skillfully handled, works wonders. But, let's face it, much humor is not skillfully handled because too many speakers think laughter is precipitated by a long, drawn-out joke that may, in reality, turn out to be just as boring as a dull monologue on the population growth statistics of the snail darter. The important question is, "Where does one find humor that will be appropriate, to the point, short enough to prevent boredom, & funny enough to excite the laughter mechanism?" This book answers that question with over 1,200 entries categorized by 92 subjects & cross-referenced to ease your search for that special pungent line or joke. In addition to the thousands of witty lines, a special feature--Rx for that ailing speech--gives you 81 specific tips on how to best use a story, what can go wrong, & how to prevent that from happening, plus where to use it, when to include it, why it works, & a host of helpful pointers.

Good Rx V by Benjamin Benoit Pdf

A wonderful look at the stories of a family trying to make it in the United States. It chronicles a Dominican man who immigrates to America during the post-World War II era, and subsequently shares most of the twentieth century's second half working to achieve his family's American Dream. In the words of the author, "This story is one of perseverance, which exemplifies the American dream, and love, which is the magic behind spirituality. It can be recognized in many families who have had forefathers that sacrificed much to bear the fruits they enjoy today. It is a tale that needs to be told to remind us of where we come from." The story is set to the backdrop of events of American Major League Baseball, a major reason for the connection of generations and cultures. It recounts the history of Baseball in the United States for the last half of the twentieth century, in a way that reflects the principles of that period. The writer takes the reader though his observations of those Baseball seasons, and how they helped shape his perspective on family and teamwork. Filled with personal anecdotal stories, poingant stories, and opinions, the story attempts to make the reader laugh, cry, and think.
