The Best of Righter's Top Ten

This book represents the best of the last 20 years of Righter's Top Ten humor columns. This handy reference guide provides over 1,500 themed one-liners for winning your audience with snappy humor. Properly selected, these funny lines will help you become a more entertaining communicator by helping you drop funny observations and self-deprecating humor into any presentation. There is comedy for everyone in these pages, masters of ceremonies, topic masters, roasters and roast masters, evaluators, and many others. There are dozens of columns in this book which provide "savers," or comebacks that you can use to turn disaster into laughter, such as when a joke bombs, or you receive minimal applause, get dinged for an UH, and many other awkward situations. Some of the following humor is more appropriately told on yourself or used during a celebrity roast rather than slung at a fellow Toastmaster. These selected topics also make handy regular humor columns for newsletters... short, on target, and easily customized to your group. In addition, there are a lot of great humor themes in these lists which are perfect for table topics sessions, excellent material for use in celebrity roasts, and some bonus humor in the form of holiday poems and humor for special events.
