REVEREND LOWELL'S TREASURY OF HUMOR
He Who Laughs, Lasts!
Release 1.1
Welcome to Reverend Lowell's Treasury, the ultimate humor collection
for Windows! Reverend Lowell's Treasury is hyper-indexed, easily
searchable, and copiously illustrated in color and B/W. Reverend
Lowell's Treasury is divided into multiple volumes, with each volume
covering a different topic. This volume, HE WHO LAUGHS, LASTS, can be
freely distributed, to assist those considering purchasing the Treasury
in evaluating the quality of these materials.
HE WHO LAUGHS, LASTS contains Reverend Lowell's all-time favorite
anecdotes, jokes, quips, and witty comments. Each volume covers a
different topic, and the full set contains thousands of humorous
anecdotes collected by Reverend Lowell during his long career as an
ordained minister. After thirty years of public speaking from the
pulpit, the podium, and on television, he has amassed quite a few
items, and Reverend Lowell's Treasury represents the "cream of the
crop." These are Reverend Lowell's favorite funny stories, revealing
quotes, interesting anecdotes, and zingy one-liners. And there's
nothing that would be unsuitable in any public setting.
There are plenty of items to choose from. Many are illustrated in
color or B/W. All items are indexed by keywords and by first line.
To select a particular item, click on the Search button. Choose a
keyword to narrow the selection, then pick one of the anecdotes
("Topics") listed under that keyword. Or if you prefer, you can simply
browse through the entire collection by using the Next ( >> ) or
Previous ( << ) buttons to read page by page. When you have found just
the right item, use the Copy button to copy it to your word processor,
or any other application. Or use the Print button to print it.
Need a good anecdote for your next talk? Click on Search and find the
perfect story, listed by keywords. Want to start your day with a
chuckle? Dip into Reverend Lowell's Treasury every morning. Or let
the LowellMatic program select today's story for you automatically when
you start Windows.
HOW TO PURCHASE OTHER VOLUMES OF THE TREASURY

full Treasury. Each volume covers a different topic, and the full set

You can also order LowellMatic, a companion program which can display a

HOW TO INSTALL REVEREND LOWELL'S TREASURY
You can install Reverend Lowell's Treasury automatically, using the
enclosed auto-installer. To do this, simply run install.exe from
within Windows. You can run it using File Manager, or the Run item on
Program Manager's File menu, or in whatever other convenient way you
choose. Give it the directory to put the Treasury files into, and the
Program Manager group name for the Treasury icons (appropriate defaults
are suggested). It'll do the rest. The installer will make no changes
to your system set-up or to any systemwide files. It copies the
Treasury files to the directory you specify, puts its icons in
the Program Manager group you choose, and copies the file lowell1.dll
to the Windows directory.
If you will be using the LowellMatic program, you should install all
your Treasury volumes in the same directory that the LowellMatic
program is in.
UN-INSTALLING REVEREND LOWELL'S TREASURY
If you decide to un-install Reverend Lowell's Treasury, simply delete
that Program Manager group, and that directory, which you selected when
you first installed Reverend Lowell's Treasury. You'll also want to delete
the file lowell1.dll from your Windows directory.
