highly recommended

What makes this better than many other joke books for speakers, is that each category is started out by a few pages on how you might use subsequent type of humor. The theme getting the reader to understand that it is better to use your own humorous experiences. If you are not yet creative in humor, don't just steal somebody else's one-liner innovate a new twist to it or help it stimulate your own creation. I recommend that you learn how to start from scratch with your own stories. Check out my review of Using Stories and Humor by Joanna Slan. Enberg's reference book might help get the juices but it can't replace it. Buy them both-its not high finance dollars... I started reading on public speaking in September 2000. I rushed to buy three joke books. I discovered quickly that reading humor manuals and joke books is not very useful. So I skipped them and started reading on public speaking ( currently over two dozen books). Now Christmas is over and I have two more as gifts. Now I have five joke books to read. They are boring. Its like the left over turkey. You think it is fun to eat leftovers. Then you remember why you do not eat turkey the rest of the year. I am now reading these humor books on the theory that they will help me create humor or at least innovate from their starting point.

A Don't Miss

As I grew up watching Dick Enberg on television, I always wondered how he could write, or reflect, on what was happening before his eyes so well? Clearly, this book helped me answer that question. Mr. Enberg has written a book of quotes unlike any other. He has included in his book, not only those famous quotes with which we are all so familiar, but also quotes that he heard in his every day life. It is this aspect of the book that I found so rewarding, and it is this aspect that helps separate it from similar themed texts. It showed me that one doesn't always have to look for the comedian, world leader, or athlete for guidance. Instead, one can simply listen to the common man (or woman) for answers, advice, and humor. Mr. Enberg realizes that fame doesn't guarantee these attributes, but more importantly, that a lack of fame doesn't prevent one from obtaining any or all of them. This is a fantastic book, put together by a man who can see great qualities in people from all walks of life.

Good for a few laughs

Its a nice book but if you are seriously looking for quotes to use in daily life or speeches (with references ect.) buy the Oxford dictionary of quotations. It's a much better investment.
