How to Be Witty and Come Up with the Right Things to Say Instantly!
Surely you've encountered (or even know) that one particular individual in your life who seems to be able to pull "something witty to say" at the drop of a hat that knocks everyone's socks off - by generating the perfect responses for the perfect moment, cracking unexpected jokes making people laugh, or bantering witty one-liner comments with their endless repertoire of repartees.
So who is this Mr./Ms. Witty? You're scratching your head dumbfounded, yet in impressive awe...how in the world do they do it, and deep down secretly wanting to be like them.
Who doesn't, right? Who wouldn't love to be admired, respected, and worshipped for their charming clever wit? Yet, it's much more than that. By being witty, you can always come up with the right things to say, at the right time in expressing yourself clearly, concisely, and convincingly at an instant with few short words (no more, no less) that establishes more authority, credibility, and trust.
That's the power of having a razor-sharp wit! If the pen is mightier than the sword, then the wit is sharper than the knife. However, let's be honest, being witty doesn't always come naturally, especially for those who are less creative and more logical-prone.

When you're not witty, but want to be. Read This!
Being quick to wit is not something I was born with, so when I saw this book I was like, ok so now I can up my game. I find that sometimes I am at a loss for words when it comes to the "word game". It has been a downfall of mine for many, many years now. I know I definitely need to step up my know-how in the wit department, and with this book, I am learning to do just that.
For some people, wit comes naturally, and they are quick to throw witty sayings right off the cuff. For people like me, that struggle with our witty repertoire it is not always easy and we are left often at "a loss for words". This can be embarrassing, and even sometimes humiliating depending on the situation.
I usually say I don't like confrontation, but after reading this book I may be able to deal with confrontation or "verbal abusers" better. Bullying and quick wit go hand in hand and to help deal with a bully a quick wit would really have helped me when i was in school. Now I still get bullied by all kinds of people and have by clients before. It's just easier to handle a client through e-mail than it is face to face. Using the techniques in this book I will be able to remove my stressful situations thus lowering my rate of having stress-related seizures. (Did I mention I was epileptic?) When my stress rate gets too high, I will have mini-seizures which has often been the butt of jokes as well.
I look forward to putting these techniques in place the next time i am in a need to have wit situation. Will also be suggesting this book to others I know that will need it.
A formula for hilarity.
I am a great fan of the one-liners – the sarcastic whips in response to any criticism laid against someone. My hero is Groucho Marx and that is who I thought about the entire time I was reading Instant Wit. Now don’t’ get me wrong – your wit will not be increased simply by reading techniques. As the book points out it can’t hand you a sense of humor and tell you what to say. You must practice what works best for you. This book simply helps you hone your skills.
The best part for me was chapter 4 because it was the first glimpse into the mind of a comedian. It presents a formula: WHAT-IF which means if I were to do/say this then this/that would happen. It made me think about actually thinking of scenarios that I can use lines A, B, C, etc. I could always be prepared with what to say and it would be much more creative than, “your momma,” or, “that’s what she said” nonsense. Comedy and wit are developed over time and if you have the tools that are presented in this book it makes it so much easier to put it together and present it for the enjoyment of others.
