Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Wit and Humor for Public Speakers The speaker who knows how to rightly use stories is to be congratulated. Humorous incidents, well related and aptly applied, immediately catch the attention of practically every hearer, and may be made to serve as "memory hooks" on which to hang the most important points presented. It is human nature to be attracted by that which pleases us, and by remembering something that has brought us laughter we easily recall that which it was used to illustrate. If, however, stories do not actually illustrate a point, it is better to leave them untold - unless it be on an occasion of general merriment, when there is a round of story-telling simply for the sake of good cheer. But for the speaker to go out of the way of his theme, for no apparent purpose except to bring in jokes, is inexcusable. The friends of an evangelist who was conducting meetings in a certain city, made arrangements with officers of the Young Men´s Christian Association to have him address a large number of high-school boys in the association building. The idea was commendable, and the opportunity one that any lover of young manhood might prize. But this evangelist evidently thought he must make an effort to amuse the students, as the line of his talk of perhaps half an hour in length was an apparent effort to tell funny stories, brought in with but little regard for any point they were supposed to illustrate. The result was he gave his hearers but little, if anything, helpful to retain. A rare opportunity was wasted.
