interest and much more. Full of witty satire and sarcasm. Get ready

to say about this book: "Hey Willie, this is so entertaining Ha ha
you have a great sense of humor, and your statements are so true "
- Denise "We all know no one likes a tattletale. Hate the game, not
the player. Every girl Tiger slept with knew he was married. Who is
worse?" - Steve the player "That was such an enjoyable and
enlightening read. I mean it's well written, witty, and one would
think some of it is common sense, but sometimes people (i.e. me )
need common sense to slap them in the face " - Cheryl "Willie
whistle blower has a nice ring to it. You know someone's going to
kick your butt one day? Good work " - A guy Willie no longer
parties with "I don't understand you. You go through university,
build a promising career. Now you quit your job and write this
book? Why would you tell the whole world you're an asshole?" -

The world's most beloved beagle shares his philosophy on life in
this beautifully produced gift book for all generations. In his
inimitable style, Snoopy spends his days extolling the virtues of
dancing, hanging out with his best bird friend Woodstock, pursuing
a full supper dish and giving his owner - our favourite lovable
loser, Charlie Brown - the run-around. For the millions of faithful
Charles Schulz fans, and those who fondly remember the joyful dog
with the wild imagination, this is the first in a new series to
cherish that will see the beguiling Peanuts gang share their
sentiments on everything from food to friendship.
To comedians, 'material'--their jokes--has always been precious,
worthy of protecting and preserving. On stage, a good vaudeville
routine could last years as it was performed on tour across the
country. On radio, a year's vaudeville material might be fodder for
one week's broadcast. Bob Hope used new material not only for his
weekly radio series, but also for the several live charity
appearances he made each week.
Organized by the stages of his life, accompanied by black-and-white
photographs, this book gives readers a chance to enjoy the very
best of Hope's jokes, from his early years in vaudeville, his
top-rated radio show in the '30s and '40s, his legendary television
appearances, and much more.
This is a humorous book on marriage, showing how a guy can live
with a woman,by teasing, joking, pulling pranks & small capers,
to forever keeping her wondering what-in-the-heck he might do next
& usually can get away with it all, as long as he smiles &
says "The devil made me do it !".
At one time, Razor was a strapping, athletic, and active young man.
Now, many years later, he has finally come to the realization that
getting older really pisses him off. Now pear-shaped, slow, and
forgetful, Razor is convinced he is not a pretty sight. Worse yet,
Squatty Body-his lovely, strong-willed wife-is a real pain in his
butt. In his first collection of humorous anecdotes and satirical
commentary, based on real-life situations and current issues,
retired teacher and avid storyteller R. D. Donaldson shares a
delightful compilation of musings both hilarious and contemplative
that highlight the adventures of Razor and Squatty Body-two
characters loosely based on Donaldson and his own wife. Razor was
born on the golf course and will do anything to win his opponents'
quarters-including verbally slashing the enemy. Squatty Body is a
deficient chef who has burned boiling water, screwed up buttered
toast, and killed the neighbor's dog with her less-than-desirable
cooking. Is the whole world going crazy? After all is said and
done, Razor may just prove to everyone that he is the only sane one
left standing in the midst of a bunch of nuts.
What is the one true secret to weight loss? What is the correct
way to make a grilled cheese sandwich? Is the designated hitter
rule the salvation of baseball or its undoing? Is it rational to be
an optimist? And-the question that haunts us all- should toilet
paper unwind over the top of the roll or from underneath?
In his first collection of essays, author Brian Kenneth Swain
tackles hundreds of life's questions while exploring a vast array
of subjects-from tubas to two year-olds, from field goals to child
labor laws, and from high school shop class to the worst round of
golf ever played. With an acerbic wit and an honest approach, Swain
shares his perspective on such pivotal matters as how to ski
without losing a limb or your self-esteem, how to correctly prepare
and consume lobster according to Maine standards, and whether
marketing ploys hypnotically convince consumers to replace
perfectly functioning items without a second thought. Swain
encourages a kind of tongue-in-cheek thinking that prompts us to
take a second look at the world around us.
"The Curious Habits of Man" shares an amusing glimpse at life
as one man contemplates many of our greatest-and
smallest-questions.
?I cherish the fun times/laughs I have with my friend/publicist
Holly, who is always so ?Jolley.? Just being in her presence makes
me feel comfortable and at home - like I?ve known her a million
years. I know her readers are going to feel the same. The way she
words and writes things is in such a smart, but understanding way,
no matter the age or the maturity level - it always leaves you
wanting more.? ?Paul Jolley (American Idol - Season 12, Top 9
Finalist) ?Holly writes truthful and sincere. I know her writing
comes from her heart and her experiences just from knowing her. She
was the first one to write up an article about me and my hometown.
Very excellent writer. Emm Hmmm.? ?Duck Dynasty's Mountain Man Are
you tired of ?How-to? dating books? Well, this is not one of them.
Holly Marie Tong's Chick Flicks Lie (Sugar-free Accounts of a
Positive Pessimist) features laughable and engaging stories which
are relative of today's dating world. Deep down, we all want the
kind of love that would chase our departing plane down the tarmac
and the kind of love that would try to win us back no matter what
the cost. However, real life is often a far cry from a chick flick,
and there isn't any background music to accompany it. With sharp
wit, continual sarcasm, and non-stop humor, Chick Flicks Lie
reminds the single crowd that they aren't alone. The empathetic
author believes faith mixed with laughter to be the best medicine
for lousy dates and failed relationships. This feel-good book will
leave singles feeling understood, while giving them a whole new
perspective.

Alien abduction? An evil clone bent on taking over the world? A
ferret's search for the ultimate nap? Stranger things have
happened, but none perhaps as captivating as the saga presented in
Crittertude Volume 2: Aliens Have Taken our Cat
Dee Quemby's book is not just a wonderfully warm read but a very
actual account of the most demanding and difficult life in show
business, that of the COMEDIAN! I told Dee many moons ago that she
should enter the idiom that is the easiest life in showbusiness,
that of the TV drama actor. That of course she has done to grand
acclaim. Get the book it's a great read! BILL maynard Deirdre was
my first dancing teacher for 13 years and I owe her a great debt.
She is a very talented performer in her own right and it would be
great to dance with her again. I still think there's something very
big around the corner for her! Stephen Mear (Olivier winning
choreographer of Mary Poppins) Dee was brilliant as Emmerdale's
Lulu Dingle. But if she'd had access to Lulu's crystal ball and
been able to see how tough it would be for a mainstream comedienne
to get a break in modern TV, would she have persevered? Dee's book
is moving, honest and funny. Garry Bushell (tv critic)
