Or you can use this book to help you deliver a speech sizzling with wit and wisdom. It could earn you a standing ovation and free drinks all night!
As well as thousands of jokes, toasts, after dinner stories and quotations, this invaluable book offers plenty of shaggy-dog stories and jokes for less formal occasions and just amusing your friends.
