Title: These crackers are stale!
Product review: As a professional speaker I am always looking for new stories to keep my presentations fresh and alive. This particular collection is filled with old jokes (told rather badly) and stories from the author's family -- which I suppose MIGHT have been funny had one been there. The index is not very helpful since the stories have been indexed according to single words rather than thematically. A few of the stories are kind of cute -- a couple about children from the author's family come to mind -- but they are written with such a heavy hand that it becomes a chore to wade through to the punch line. If you are looking for a book to keep your speeches flowing, this is not the one.
