REVEREND LOWELL'S TREASURY OF HUMOR
He Who Laughs, Lasts!
Release 1.01

Welcome to Reverend Lowell's Treasury, the ultimate humor collection
for Windows!  Reverend Lowell's Treasury is hyper-indexed, easily
searchable, and copiously illustrated in color and B/W. Reverend
Lowell's Treasury is divided into multiple volumes, with each volume
covering a different topic. This volume, HE WHO LAUGHS, LASTS, can be
freely distributed, to assist those considering purchasing the Treasury
in evaluating the quality of these materials.

HE WHO LAUGHS, LASTS contains Reverend Lowell's all-time favorite
anecdotes, jokes, quips, and witty comments. Each volume covers a
different topic, and the full set contains thousands of humorous
anecdotes collected by Reverend Lowell during his long career as an
ordained minister. After thirty years of public speaking from the
pulpit, the podium, and on television, he has amassed quite a few
items, and Reverend Lowell's Treasury represents the "cream of the
crop."  These are Reverend Lowell's favorite funny stories, revealing
quotes, interesting anecdotes, and zingy one-liners. And there's
nothing that would be unsuitable in any public setting.

There are plenty of items to choose from.  Many are illustrated in
color or B/W.  All items are indexed by keywords and by first line.
