This collection of humorous stories and anecdotes, indexed by topic and subject, is an excellent tool for speechwriters and an enjoyable resource for anyone who appreciates a humorous perspective of human character.
After Eric Johnson published his first collection of humorous anecdotes, it seemed that everyone he met simply had to tell him their own personal "favorites." Many of these have found their way into Humorous Stories About the Human Condition, and successor to Johnson's highly successful A Treasury of Humor. This new collection includes stories like these:
A long-winded bore was putting his friends to sleep with endless reminiscences
about a trip to Switzerland. At last he concluded, "There I stood, high on a
mountain, with a great abyss yawning before me." To which one irritated
listener queried, "Was that abyss yawning before you got there?"
During fifth-grade recess, the playground tough egg pointed out a cute
pig-tailed classmate to one of his cronies and said, "If I ever stop hating
girls, she's the one I'm going to stop hating first."
A born skeptic, tired of hearing for the umpteenth time that George Washington
never told a lie, quipped, "It was easy then; he never filed a tax return or
played golf."
