So, for your National Publicist Day celebrations, and for all throughout the year, here are some of Barrows' jokes about some of the aspects of Public Relations:

A) Regarding Costs for Public Relations services:

1) Trying to get your name into the News…and…
2) Trying to keep your name out of the News.

If they want me to try to keep their name out of the news, I tell them that will cost a lot more."

B) Now…regarding Measuring the Effectiveness of Public Relations Services:

"I was typing the words Public Relations and I typed the word Relations wrong…
…it almost looked like Public Retaliations…
(Sometimes, a very necessary part of the job)"
