- ----- REVEREND LOWELL'S TREASURY OF HUMOR ----------------------------
-
- 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.
