BREAK A LEG STEP BY STEP
the 'Everybody's Guide' on humour because it is how you tell 'em that counts!

In this book the dynamic Christian communicator and comedian, Jack Garratt, shares himself and his favourite jokes and stories. Anyone - teacher, preacher, evangelist, after dinner speaker or just the normal 'bod' in the street who enjoys good, wholesome fun will get a kick out of this book. These jokes will keep you and the people you meet doubled up with laughter for years. Enjoy !

"Jack Garratt is a unique individual. He has taken his natural gift for comedy and dedicated it to the spreading of the Gospel. In this book you have a sample of the kind of humour and witticisms that simply leak out of Jack Garratt's pores. Not only are they extremely funny but they have become tools in his hands to open many a closed heart to the good news of the Gospel. They are now offered to you for the same purpose".
Frank J. Retief, Presiding Bishop of The Church of England in South Africa.

"Jack gives his jokes a real rip. He has spun a seamless web of comedy and coaching with a twist in the tail to delight all serious leg-breakers. As a manual it's pitched just right to help with selection, delivery and timing. Surely a big hit."
Mike & Sue Battison, Directors of Scripture Union Private Schools.

"Jack Garratt is funny. He knows how to make your sides split. He knows how to use humour to effectively communicate, to build a bridge and to get his message through. In this delightful book Jack does it again. Yes, you will laugh, but at the same time you will learn how to make others laugh. So learn from Jack, you will enjoy it."
Brian Helsby, National Director Youth for Christ, South Africa.

Briefing
For many years I have been poking fun at myself and the world - I thought it advisable to put them into a book before I reach the age of forgetfulness ! If you love to laugh and make others do the same- this book is for you. It is about successful communication - somewhat of a workbook. Over time as you go through this book you will learn some of the best gags I know and use them in chatting to friends, lecturing, in church etc.

How do we start ?
It is a light workbook - I will share some gags, outline them and suggest a few ways in which you can best tell the joke.

 
A few Quickies from the book:

  • On Marriage ! ....

    • "Every night my wife covers her face in mud and puts her hair in rollers. "Does it help?" "A little...but, I can still tell it's her !"

    • "How's your headache, Fred?" "Out shopping! How's yours?"

  • What do you call a boomerang that does not work?
    - A stick !

  • Why are there so many Smiths in the phone book?
    - because they all have phones.

  • I'll Drink to that! A preacher was completing a temperance sermon. With great expression he said, "If I had all the beer in the world, I'd take it and throw it in the river !" The congregation nodded their approval. With even greater emphasis he added, "And if I had all the wine in the world, I'd take it and throw it into the river, too!" The people clapped and were saying "Amen". And then finally, he concluded; "And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I'd take it and throw it into the river!" As he sat down, the song leader stood very cautiously and announced with a slight smile, "For our closing song, let us sing Hymn number 365: "Shall we gather at the river"
