5.0 out of 5 stars A GOOD ARGUMENTATIVE WEAPON, 3 Sep 2003

By	Luciano Lupini (Caracas Venezuela) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Alas! A good reason for you not to buy any of those joke books. Instead, acquire this wonderful recollection of funny phrases actually said or written........ Suggested to witty quotation fans, of course, but a must for those that don’t possess humor but do have a good memory !!!!! A compilation of hilarious phrases, edited by Fred Metcalf, that will not let you down, in any argument or discussion. Good to break the ice, superb to outwit your opponent, it is the perfect tool to keep at bay the drama, in heavy or intricate conversations. Talking to the pretentious literati or author, you can say: “A good writer is not, per se, a good critic. No more than a good drunk is automatically a good bartender...” If he replies: “Critics are like eunuchs in a harem: they know how it’s done, they’ve seen it done every day, but they’re unable to do it themselves” then you can say: “I never read a book before reviewing it- it prejudices a man so....” and then add: “Thank you for sending me a copy of your book. I’ll waste no time in reading it...” (a review by Luciano Lupini)
