Jeremy takes us back to another year of life as a gentleman farmer at Diddly Squat - what could possibly go wrong this time?
Welcome back to Clarkson's farm. At the end of Jeremy's first year, Diddly Squat farm rewarded him with profits of £144. And while he's mastered the art of moaning, challenges still abound.
Who knew loading a trailer was more demanding than flying a gunship? That cows were more dangerous than motor-racing? Or that it's easier to get planning permission for a nuclear power station than turning an old barn into a restaurant?
Life on Clarkson's farm may not always go according to plan. But not a day goes by when Jeremy can't say 'I've done a thing' and mean it...
Students would submit jokes in a cardboard box, appropriately named
the "dry box."Lanehart would choose five jokes from the box to read
to his students. They would then judge them on a scale of 1-10,
according to the dryness of the joke. The winner of the best joke
won a brown paper towel. Lanehart saved nearly all of the jokes,
and these have been the source of his books. This is the last of
the four book series. Lanehart has previously written The Dry Off
Book 1: The Mysteriously Silly Solo Edition, The Dry Off Book 2:
The Dynamically Dumb Duo Edition, and The Dry Off Book 3.0 for
Smarties. This final book, The Not So Dry Off Book 4: the
Critically Ashamed Insensitive Edition is a slight departure from
the others. Most of the jokes are similar to those in the other
three books. In this book, every joke is illustrated with clip art,
and contains some jokes that were never read to students in a
middle school classroom. There are long jokes, short jokes, and
some that might be offensive to a sensitive reader. Thus the name
of the book. The cover resembles the brown paper towels the joke
winners would receive So, enjoy the humor, do not take them
seriously, and have some fun with the final book of the series.
Lanehart has left his computer and gone fishing
In this book, there are puzzles to solve, riddles to unravel,
tongue twisters to untwist and lots of jokes too. Look for Bin
Laden (or Bin Baby) among all kinds of weird and wonderful
characters, and in all sorts of places, and The Posse, Bin
Ladketeers, NSA Agent Jimmy Dorch, Patty Hurst and Moonie too!Since
the CIA, Interpol, the National Security Agency and the Defense
Intelligence Agency have spent zillions of dollars and still
haven't had any luck so far, we thought we'd give You the chance to
find the world's Number One Most Wanted Man.
This beautifully illustrated book brings together sixty essential life lessons inspired by the infinite wisdom of trees.
Trees do not have brains to think with, or nervous systems that cause them to feel things, and yet they are undeniably clever. From their ability to adapt, to their understanding of the strength of networks and mutually beneficial relationships, they put us to shame with their natural ability to thrive, even when they find themselves in less than ideal environments.
This beautifully illustrated book brings together sixty universal life lessons taken from the infinite wisdom of trees. We learn about the importance of forward-planning from the Chinese bamboo tree, which seemingly doesn't grow at all for the first four years of its life, before shooting 80 feet upwards in six weeks; in those four years, it is in fact growing an amazingly strong underground root network to support sudden growth. And acacias, who look out for each other by producing a gas when they're being nibbled on by herbivores to warn their nearby friends.
From the importance of patience, to drawing strength from others, to weathering the storm, to dealing with life's most persistent irritants - this is a celebration of the heroes of the forest, and an essential companion for dipping into when we need a little inspiration.
