Have Morals In Conclusion: **The History Behind these Comedy/Satire
Books**: While my largest base of book titles are on health
disorder subjects, I also have a significant number of
business-related titles published, as well as many on Christian
Bible theology. Before I began publishing in any of these serious
genres, which I do feel are my most important ones, I tried my hand
at comedy via online articles I wrote in years previous (I created
a few short stories during this period as well). Having kept these
comedy pieces I wrote, in saved files after taking them offline, I
decided to revive them by publishing them in eBook and paperback
form. I did have to tweak them and edit them a bit but I managed to
give them all that Percy P. III flavor. Of course as real the
writer of them (James M. Lowrance), I think they're pretty funny
and relatives who I shared them with, confirmed this evaluation --
so I decided to offer them to the world. With them being so
different from my serious subject books, I assigned a pen name to
them as well, being "Percyvelle Pennington the Third." He seems
more like the guy who wrote them, than I do. Percy is a snide type
guy and he is arrogant; traits that I hopefully never display in
real life He does make his points known in his memoirs but in
strangely comical ways. A "cheerful heart is a good medicine"
according to the Holy Bible, and "laughter is the best medicine"
according to Reader's Digest. My thoughts were, that if I could
take a few serious or controversial subjects via my compiled
articles and create a little comedy from them that makes people
smile or laugh, it would be something worth publishing. With the
debates going on within these subjects, between people expressing
the pros and cons of them, it is my hope that I can lighten the
rhetoric a bit by injecting some humor into them. These booklets
ARE NOT intended to offend anyone and if you'll notice, I make fun
of everyone in them, via my alter writing personality -- Percy P.
III. It is my hope that readers find the medicine of laughter and
cheer within the pages of them, so that they can escape the
stressors of life for just a little while
Whilst there are enough celebrity connections and anecdotes not to
be out of place in an A list autobiography, the real hook of this
book is that the author isn t remotely famous. The endearing appeal
is that it is the viewpoint of the everyman, but one who has had
enough light brushes with celebrity that he has some great tales to
tell. These stories, anecdotes and musings are seamlessly woven
into what for many of us will be a memory jogging, laughter
inducing remembrance of some of the major, as well as quainter,
stranger and more trivial moments of pop culture over the last few
decades. If you love pop music and pop culture, feared the Daleks,
the Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and mourn the demise
of Pez, Cresta, conkers as a rite of passage, jokes on lolly
sticks, Top of the Pops and pink vinyl limited edition LP s, then
you will surely enjoy this. Please beware This book may waste days
(if not weeks) of your life as almost every paragraph will have you
frantically typing into your search engine and getting lost, on
what may turn out to be an endless Internet Safari. This book
contains some adult humour. Best Wishes and Good Luck with your
writing Ben Elton"
What happens when you take genuine Facebook quotes, gather them
together, and try to connect them? You get a heated confrontation
between rival time-travelers. You get the untold romance of
chess-champion computer Deep Blue. You get a secret society of
comedians bent on world domination, not to mention vital, brutally
untrue information about international politics, artificial
sweetener, cyborgs, the lifestyle of the modern geek, the meaning
of your dreams, and other issues of equally tremendous importance.
The Jumping-Off Point weaves from one quote to another, generating
a picture of a world you never knew existed...because it doesn't.
The first of its kind to explore the Nobel Prize experience
"Dad, some guy is calling from Sweden." It was 2:30am on October
13th, 1998, the youngest son in the Laughlin house had answered the
phone. His dad had just become a recipient of the Nobel Prize in
physics.
Frantic and funny events of the next two months are chronicled
as the Laughlin's academic household morphs into a madcap staging
area for the family and thirty guests who will be in attendance
during Nobel week. From tickets to Stockholm to clothing
measurements, Nobel lecture preparations, attach assistance and a
quick trip to the White House for a formal reception with President
and Mrs. Clinton, readers will laugh out loud while gasping in
awe.
The glorious Nobel ceremony and elaborate banquet is held each
winter with a viewing audience of tens of millions. An intimate
dinner with King Gustaf in his royal palace follows the Nobel
evening in which Anita Laughlin finds herself the King's dinner
partner for what becomes an evening of hilarious surprises, and
yes, reindeer.
This book is laced with cartoons drawn by Bob Laughlin that
evoke collective feelings of surprise and bewilderment as he and
his wife ascend the steep learning curve of Swedish protocol
together.
The A-Z of Limericks is a whimsical collection of 501 individual
five-line rhymes composed by first-time author Trevor P. Morley.
Taking his inspiration from a style of limerick that was originally
regarded as somewhat vulgar when Edward Lear first popularized it
in the late 19th century, Morley's aim is to tickle his reader's
fancy with a decidedly cleaner style of wit. While the 501
jest-filled rhymes in this book are untitled, each contains a
person's first name and has its own subject. The rhymes are
constructed in a traditional AABBA rhyme scheme, with the B lines
being shorter than the A lines. The A-Z of Limericks is the perfect
book to pick up and peruse for a delightful afternoon of literary
amusement. Author Trevor P. Morley was born and still lives in the
former English railway town of Swindon. Prior to becoming a
published writer, Trevor enjoyed a career in electronics and cable
assembly. Although he has been writing short stories, rhymes and
articles since school, The A-Z of Limericks is his first published
effort. When he is not writing Trevor enjoys Internet surfing,
playing snooker and watching soccer. Publisher's website: http:
