£2 from an antique shop in Dunkeld! And Mr F paid!
This was an amusing book about after-dinner speaking, written by Giles Brandreth. It starts with some tips for the would-be speechmaker (practise a lot, be prepared for things going wrong and keep it short!) Then there's examples of jokes. Unfortunately as the book was sponsored by Cockburn's Port, there are a lot of references to it which make Mr Brandreth look rather sycophantic.

strangers to keep them off the elevator

Some city dwellers treat communal space as a personal playground, convinced
that everyone within earshot exists to co-parent their poor life choices.
