Book Description

August 30, 1994
Hilarious and provocative, fanciful and wise, offering answers to questions we never thought to ask and questions to the answers we always thought we knew, these essays range over subjects marginally useful and fabulously unexpected.

2.0 out of 5 stars I expected better, September 19, 2011
The person who lent me this book highly recommended it but I didn't find it very interesting or entertaining except for one story about American in-flight catalogues. Not sure what was going on otherwise.
