Excerpt from Toaster's Handbook: Jokes, Stories, and Quotations Let the frightened toaster turn first to the key word Of his topic in this dictionary alphabet of selections and perchance he may find toast, story, definition or verse that may felicitously introduce his remarks. Then as he proceeds to outline his talk and to put it into sentences, he may find under one Of the many subject headings a bit which will happily and scintillatingly drive home the ideas he is unfolding. While the larger part of the contents is humorous, there are inserted many quotations Of a serious nature which may serve as appropriate literary ballast. The jokes and quotes gathered for the toaster have been placed under the subject headings where it seemed that they might be most useful, even at the risk Of the joke turning on the compilers. To extend the usefulness of such pseudo-cataloging, cross references, similar and dissimilar to those Of a library card catalog, have been included. Should a large number of the inclusions look familiar, let us remark that the friends one likes best are those who have been already tried and trusted and are the most welcome in times Of need. However, there are stories Of a rising generation, whose acquaintance all may enjoy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
