The funniest book I've ever read. Can't read it at night because I keep my wife awake laughing. At last my search for great Southern humor is ended as long as Ed Williams keeps putting out this kind of quality writing. He is good ... very good! Guess I'm gonna change from Grizzard's Sprayberry BBQ to Ed's Nu Way hot dogs .... that ain't all bad 'cause Lewis did before he left us. Don't miss a real treat. Try Sex, Dead Dogs, & Me for an antidote for the dreadfully dull political babble which we are about to experience for the next few months.

This book was as a gift from the most beautiful lady in Alabama and I want to thank her. This book was a great pressure reliever. I have not laughed so hard in a long time--actually brought tears to my eyes--it was GREAT!! Each Chapter is it's own little short story. My favorites were Stink Perfume, The Vapors, The Brotherhood, and Porno Movies. The way Ed tells each story puts you right there it is so easy to visualize the situation you are laughing right along with him. I actually felt like I was right there participating in the particle jokes. As a matter of fact the experiences Ed writes about are similar situation I've experienced. I found myself recalling some of my own similar experiences that added to my laughter. You don't have to be from Georgia to appreciate this book. Although Ed writes about things that happened to Ed in a small Georgia town but no matter where you live you can relate because of similar experiences. This is a very entertaining book to read. You too will find yourself laughing resulting in tears forming in your eyes too. Again thanks for the gift I love it!!

This book will make you piss your pants, you'll laugh that hard. And Ed Williams is truly a magnificent person, although his moral taste may seem a bit "unscrupulous" to some, I have met him and his is really just a country boy full of stories. Defietly a must read! -Ryan

The factual, earthy antics of Ed Williams and his buddies growing up in the South make for hilarious reading. Those who were lucky enough not to be targets for their hijinks can consider themselves very fortunate!

Ed has a unique memory of youth... and so much of it coinsides with my own memories, at least the way I choose to remember. His story telling will soon have him compared to the likes of our other great humourists,Twain and Will Rogers.

Ed Williams is a true Southern Gentleman, a good friend, and an up-and-coming writer!! Reading this book is like talking with Ed himself. You will literally split your sides laughing at the stories!!! The best part is....there's more to come!! Ed has left the best for generations to come so stay tuned...I should know...Sincerely, the Junior Member of the Brotherhood

I laughed until my sides hurt. Sex, Dead Dogs, And Me is thick with outstanding humor. It has it all. Ed writes about extremely funny stories from his youth such as good and bad kisses, workman's compensation for jock itch, the vapors, and the adultery business. If you love to laugh, you'll want this book for your collection. You get a truly all encompassing, across the board variety of wit.

My favorite is Ed's classic tale of stink perfume. It reminds me of my own prank-filled youth. I have read a lot of humorous books, and this ranks among the very best. Ed's writing style brings the stories to life. It was easy to visualize the characters and get attached to them. Fresh, entertaining and comical, I highly recommend it.

I will have to make one correction however. A Canadian girl's lips kiss better. Perhaps one day Ed will get to test that theory.

I received my copy of Ed's Book on Christmas Eve by courier from Amazon.com and read it from cover to cover. I guess the best thing I can say about it, is that it is one of the few (if not only) funny books I've ever read that doesn't condemn, talk ugly about, criticize, and/or generally make fun of or portray attorneys as "sharks." I re-read the book to make sure there were no negative comments about lawyers and that in and of itself makes the book priceless to me. One of the other things that Ed and I agree on is our choice of Georgia Tech being the best school in the world. My two favorite teams are Georgia Tech and whoever is playing Georgia. His chapter on Vasectomy (and especially about the doctor who performed it) is hilarious. It should be required reading for ALL men. I disagree with his assessment of cruise passengers - since I am an expert in that area with 19 prior cruises and on every one I took my husband. While I do not watch porno movies, I also must disagree with certain sexual positions he says are impossible because I have proof that they are not and could probably tell of others, he has never even imagined. You learn these things after being married to the same man for almost 30 years! I would recommend his book to anyone who needs a good laugh! I found myself laughing outloud on many occasions and I intend to buy more copies for friends. I also hereby affirmatively state that Ed did not pay me in any way to write all of these good things about his book!!

I loved this book - laughed at points until I had tears in my eyes! The bad thing is, I have to hide it whenever one of the church workers comes into my office (due to the title). It is a great book, and the choir leader and holy water chapters have provoked considerable discussion around my dinner table. Ed Williams has the intestional fortitude to write about things that have gone on in small churches for years. He is a treasure, and I hope this book is the first of many to come from him.

Ed Williams has put down on paper for the consumption of the general public the shared experience of young men of our generation. The fact that he is reporting the events as they happened in a very small southern American town is really just an added wrinkle because the stories he tells are not that different from the stories any forty something north american guy would tell. He however has done it. My wife has not read this book and probably wouldn't enjoy it much and it would probably prompt her to shake her head and inquire.."Are guys really like this??" The answer is Yes. Ed has the guts to tell the tales that let everyone know that we: think about sex constantly, love to watch others humiliate themselves, will go to great lengths to get cheap laughs, think farting is always funny and rate professional sports just above world peace and total enlightment. Many of the vignettes had me laughing out loud. Ed's ingenuous writing style is crisp, conversational and compelling. Again let me say this piece of work will be enjoyed most by men born between 1955 and 1965, however given the right script treatment it could be a very funny and appealing film. sort of "PORKY's" meets "DAZED AND CONFUSED" meets "FRIED GREEN TOMATOES."
