REVEREND LOWELL'S TREASURY OF HUMOR
Sampler Edition, Release 1.0

Welcome to Reverend Lowell's Treasury, the ultimate humor collection for
Windows!  This Sampler Edition contains selected excerpts from the five 
volumes of Reverend Lowell's Treasury.  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 resents 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.  Each volume of the Treasury 
contains at least as many items as you'd find in a full-size book.  Many
are illustrated in color or B/W.  All items are indexed by keywords and by
first line.  To select a particular item, click on the Search button.  Choose
a keyword to narrow the selection, then pick one of the anecdotes ("Topics")
listed under that keyword.  Or if you prefer, you can simply browse through
the entire collection by using the Next ( >> ) or Previous ( << ) buttons to 
read page by page.  When you have found just the right item, use the Copy 
button to copy it to your word processor, or any other application.  Or
use the Print button to print it.

Need a good anecdote for your next talk?  Click on Search and find the perfect 
story, listed by keywords.  Want to start your day with a chuckle?  Dip into
Reverend Lowell's Treasury every morning.   Or let the LowellMatic program 
select today's story for you automatically when you start Windows.
