Synopsis

NEVER BE JOKE-DEPRIVED AGAIN

Are you the only golfer at the tee who never has a new joke? Do you try to break the ice at sales calls, but come up empty-handed? Do you try to enliven the dinner party by uncorking a zinger—only to fumble the setup, confuse the action, then blow the punchline? Welcome to Philip Van Munching's quick and accurate method for remembering jokes. Beginning with the importance of using cues, the author shows how you can remember every joke worth retelling—and presents 101 of his favorites to help you master the system.

About this title

Book Description:

How often does it happen that you hear a good joke, then blow it as you later tell it to a friend? Either you fumble the setup, get tied up in overdescription (the most common mistake in joke-telling), lose your way through the action, or tip off the punchline. Whatever the problem, it boils down to one reason--you forgot the joke. Because jokes seem to defy recall. But not for Philip Van Munching. A former beer executive and ad man who perfected the art of joke-telling to win customers and influence clients, he has a system. Combining a simple, four-step process for remembering jokes with 101 of the best from his repertoire, How To Remember Jokes will turn any reader into a much better joke-teller, and provide the jokes to get started.

About the Author:

He is the author of Beer Blast: The Inside Story of the Brewing Industry's Bizarre Battles for Your Money and op-ed pieces for the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune.
