The quotes were carefully collected by Prof. Des MacHale, a mathematics professor at the University of Cork over a period of 55 years from TV, Film, newspapers, live broadcasting… but surprisingly NOT the internet. Prof. MacHale is an author of a number of books on wit and Irish humour, and additionally has several publications in mathematics. He has a unique approach to curating what he calls “the ultimate form of wit”, with a specific formula that looks at brevity, intonation, set-up and a host of other secret parameters for maximum effect. For the first time, this unique quote collection is available at your fingertips.nnIf ever there was a source for intelligent humour for any occasion, YipWit is it!
