In the whimsical tradition he is known for, humorist Dennis Ford
once again embarks on an amusing exploration into the captivating
worlds of science, literature, history, and popular culture-all
without ever leaving the comfy air-conditioned interior of his
Saturn Ion.
In the style of his previous work, "Thinking About Everything,"
Ford shares a medley of new musings on the worries of the world and
the unique friendliness of San Antonio as he plays peek-a-boo with
a spider, attempts to climb a rainbow, and captures a leprechaun.
Ever the helpful humorist, Ford continues on a journey of
thoughtful adventures through the mundane and esoteric as he
explains how the postal service can mail itself into a profitable
future, why fantastical lies can make elections more interesting,
and a way through which one can acquire a window seat on the ferry
to the Great Beyond. Included are "Excellent Groaners," a
compilation of puns, and "Professor Fawcett's Notorious Lecture on
Test-Irrelevant Thoughts," a learned presentation on the
psychological perils of test anxiety told partly in acronyms.
"Miles of Thoughts" offers an amusing glimpse into one man's
upside-down world as he commutes through the beautiful scenery of
the New Jersey Pine Barrens and contemplates life.
