How to Craft Humorous Plays on WordsA lively phrase that grabs people's attention

won't forget. Learn how to make people memorize what you say and want
to quote you. There are powerful and easy-to-use strategies and
procedures that you can learn in order to craft your own phrase that
pays. Topics in the class include: taking an attitude, double
