Product Description

Laughter is power.

Nothing livens up a presentation like well-placed jokes, which can take an audience from bored disinterest to rapt attention in seconds.

In this ultimate collection of one-liners, author Pat Williams, one of the country's top motivational and inspirational speakers and senior vice president of the Orlando Magic, shares the jokes he has been using to win over audiences for over forty years. Arranged into more than 200 categories—from airlines and politics to world conditions and zoos—these 3,400 battle-tested funnies, delivered before a rich variety of audiences, will keep readers roaring.

While many other joke books offer material that is either not very funny or off-color, Winning with One-Liners provides clean, wholesome entertainment for all audiences. Sometimes we all need a good laugh, and Pat Williams shows how to do it right in this indispensable book for all speakers.

The best! - Reviewed on 2008-03-22

I bought three books that all just arrived. I laughed more in the first ten pages of this book than in the other two joke books combined. Plus, most the jokes are only one or two sentences. The jokes are so funny and so short they're a breeze to memorize. This is the book I've been searching for!

There are far-better joke collections available in print, for those who wish the truly "hilarious". Most of those in this tome, however, are merely tepid grin-makers, at best.

Whether you intend to give speeches or would just like to brighten your day, you'll enjoy this book.

I fondly remembered a remark made by famous hypnotist, Dr. Milton Erickson, that "within every fat person, there is a thin person waiting to be excavated", when I read the following one-liner:

"Inside of me there is a thin person trying to get out, but I can usually sedate him with five or six doughnuts."

Here are few more examples from this book:

"Always be on the lookout for new ideas. Why, the guy who invented the spray paint got the ideas when he sneezed while he was drinking the tomato juice."

Kid: "When I grow up, I want to be a philanthropist. They always seem to have lots of money."

Do you know what doctors write to pharmacists in Latin on those prescription pads? "I got mine, now you get yours."

"I always hold hands with my wife. If I let it go, she shops."

Teacher: "Who's happier: A man with five million dollars or a man with five children?"

Student: "The man with five million."

Teacher: "Why?"

Student: "Because the man with five million always wants more."
