If you've never read Patrick McManus before, go to the nearest bookstore and find one of his books. They'll be in the humor section, or maybe in with outdoor activities. Anyway, this gentleman writes some of the best outdoor humor I've ever seen (and I am clearly an expert on that). The editor for his book, A Fine and Pleasant Misery, pointed out, his humor sneaks up on you, making you laugh when you least expect it. Personally, I just think he's a great writer (probably because he has taught high school English).
See for yourself.

Thanks SOOO much for that link, Janelle! That is some hilarious writing. I read as much as I possibly could from Google books and now I want to go buy the book.
ReplyDeleteYou should. It made me laugh hard enough for my dad to come running upstairs and join the hilarity, even though I was trying to muffle it with my pillow.
ReplyDeleteStill... the Austrian Drinking Song and Folk Dance... hehehe
