Is it possible to defend yourself from a 'roid raged body builder with a 'roid raged Chihuaha? Have you ever been seen in your backyard trying to collect a pee sample from your dog with a bone china tea cup? Has a close relative ever waved a dead rat under your nose and asked you if it was fresh enough to eat? For nearly a decade Steve Pitt has been amusing his fellow writers with his off-beat postings on professional writer list-servs. His topics include everyday subjects like friends, family and his numerous side careers as militia soldier, movie extra, armored truck guard, resort cook, and stay-at-home dad. His fellow writers have compared Steve's humour to Bob Newhart, David Sedaris and Stephen Leacock. Many of these list-serv yarns have gone on to find publication in Canadian Living, Chatelaine, Toronto Life, Stitches, Canadian Health and the Globe and Mail. Here is what other writers are saying about Steve Pitt's writing: "These true life tales range from the gently picaresque to the wildly funny. Leacock Redux"William Deverell, award winning crime novelist, Pender Island BC "He's pee your pants funny. This book should come with a warning label or pack of adult diapers" Helena Katz, author/journalist, Fort Smith, NWT "He surfaces with novel insights and bust-a-gut laughs every time. Steve Pitt is an expert storyteller, both wickedly funny and deeply generous a master of observational humour with heart." Joanne Carnegie, Professional Writers Association of Canada, Monreal
