| 520 | _a"Toaster's Handbook: Jokes, Stories, and Quotations" by Peggy Edmund and Harold Workman Williams is a collection of humorous anecdotes, jokes, and quotations compiled for the purpose of aiding speakers in delivering toasts, likely written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a resource for those faced with the daunting task of speaking in social situations, providing a variety of material that is both entertaining and thought-provoking to lighten the mood and engage an audience. The opening of the book begins with a preface that captures the anxieties associated with making a toast at a gathering. It sets the tone for the handbook as a light-hearted manual intended to rescue nervous speakers from their fears by presenting a well-organized selection of jokes and stories categorized under various subjects. Notably, the preface emphasizes the importance of humor in social interactions and suggests that the sense of humor can smooth over the complexities of public speaking. The subsequent sections are aimed at guiding readers on how to respond to their audience effectively, promoting a sense of camaraderie and laughter while delivering a toast.
