"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.

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"
