It was a dream assignment! Collect wit, one-liners, tall tales, practical jokes, and funny stories for a book about Alaska humor. In MOOSE DROPPING AND OTHER CRIMES AGAINST NATURE, author Tom Brennan writes about the indignant tourist who hears of moose droppings and wants to know from what height the moose are dropped; about the practical joker in Sitka who creates a near-panic when he charters a helicopter to drop a load of old tires into the crater of a nearby dormant volcano, then sets the tires on fire; about the equally engaging tales of people, animals, and politicians.

The Funny Truth About Alaskans,
By A Customer
This review is from: Moose Dropping & Other Crimes Against Nature (Paperback)
This book is full of very funny stories about Alaska and the people who live there. This is the kind of book that you can just pick up flip to any page and read something that will make you laugh. This is a must buy book for anyone who is interested in the lighter side of life. Anyone who reads this will laugh, you don't have to live in Alaska to get the jokes. This book is for everyone.

This review is from: Moose Dropping & Other Crimes Against Nature (Paperback)
It might prove to be interesting to someone who has lived in Alaska, but for those of us who have only visited there once it was a little tedious.
I wouldn't recommend it to someone looking for a humorous reading experience. There were a few smiles, but that's all.
