The Little Giant Encyclopedia Of One Liners

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

"There is no such thing as fun for the entire family."--Jerry Seinfeld. That's an example of a one-liner. It packs a wealth of meaning into a few words and produces a chuckle along with its wisdom. Here's another one: "My luck--I was waiting at the airport when my ship came in."--Henny Youngman. There are many more laugh-inducing one-liners like these in this collection! Some are attributed to famous people; others have no source. They span many different topics. One thing's for sure. These one-liners not only say something, but they say it in a memorable way. Here are two more: * "Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons."--Woody Allen. * "I was so ugly as a kid we never had a jack-o'-lantern. They just stuck me in the window."--Rodney Dangerfield. Perrett lives in Westlake Village, GA. 512 pages, 4 3/16 x 5 1/4.

Have fun while you expand your powers of deductive reasoning! Every one of these puzzles calls for conclusions based only on the information provided; the answers don't depend on previous knowledge, memory, wordplay, or deception--just a logical mind. Accept the alternatives that lead to the correct response and discard all faulty assumptions until you've arrived at the only possibility that makes sense. There are eight kinds of puzzle, and in most cases diagrams help organize your results. Here's one example: A supermarket theft has occurred. Someone took a fully loaded cart without paying for the groceries. One of the three suspects is guilty--but which one? The guilty party's statement is true; the other two are false. Who is guilty? A. B took the cart loaded with groceries B. A's statement is true C. A's statement is false Answer: C is the guilty party.
