Do you recognize uniquely hillbilly shinola when you hear it? Does your mouth go off long before your brain fully engages? Do you easily get exquisitely simple things bollixed up beyond reasonable repair? Are you a veritable storehouse of meaningless and insignificant information? If so, you’ll feel right at home with the retired redneck geezers who regularly gather around the wood stove at the Gatesville General Store. Set in the hills of southern Indiana, the store is the old boys’ high church for general tomfoolery and otherwise misguided prattle, and their beloved heater is their altar.

Meet Max, a free spirit and his only family, a floppy-eared German Shepherd, Rhett. Then imagine facing a double whammy: stage 4 brain cancer and a visit from an irate Devil. What would you do if the Devil demanded you write a book using your life as an example of why our world is descending into hell on earth, threatening his relevance?

David Sedaris è una figura di riferimento fondamentale per la cultura americana contemporanea. La comicità soave, crudele, disincantata, intelligente e terribile di questo eterno ragazzo offre la più irresistibile chiave di lettura dell'assurdità del mondo di oggi.

Packed with puns, allusions, and references across a wide range of culture, both popular and not, Stone offers up a big slice of the fun and frustration of playing rock and roll.

Dann jedenfalls, wenn jemand wie er ihn serviert, auf seine ganz spezielle Art. Dies hier ist die zweite Sammlung seiner tückischen kleinen Stories. Eine dritte wird folgen - ebenfalls von ihm selbst gesprochen. Und es macht wahrhaftig Spass, ihm zuzuhören.

This is a hilarious book of absolutely useless advice. It will make you laugh out loud. It is packed with jokes and one-liners pretending to be serious advice. It parodies self-help books. It will appeal to kids and people with a juvenile sense of humour.

Jack Flowers knew he needed to shake things up when he jumped into the Straits of Malacca and hitched a ride to Singapore. Deftly identifying the fastest route to fame along the seedy port, Jack starts hiring girls out to lonely tourists, sailors, bachelors—anyone with some loose change and a wandering eye—soon making enough money to open two pleasure palaces.

A Wall Street bro who raps on TikTok. Two dentists—possibly stalking each other. What do these people have in common? Invited or not, they’re all headed to the most anticipated destination wedding ever.

Growing up in Central Africa in the 1950's-60's was an exciting time. A boy that was mischievous and a dead ringer for the characters 'Dennis' or 'Huckleberry Finn' and inclined to be accident prone was a pretty good recipe for almost daily disasters. Here I present some of them, a laugh, a bit of horror, poignant love stories and near death experiences fill the book.

In the comic annals of linguistic history, legions of rebel wordsmiths have died on the hill of spelling reform, risking their reputations to bring English into the realm of the rational. This book is about them: Mark Twain, Ben Franklin, Eliza Burnz, C. S. Lewis, George Bernard Shaw, Charles Darwin, and the innumerable others on both sides of the Atlantic who, for a time in their life, became fanatically occupied with writing thru instead of through, tho for though, laf for laugh, beleev for believe, and dawter for daughter (and tried futilely to get everyone around them to do it too).

Be the life of the party with these hilarious jokes!
