Editorial Reviews

Product Description
East Tennessee's Dave Barry tackles life as a CIT-Codger In Training-in this hilarious collection of essays. By turns luddite, pundit, curmudgeon, and outdoorsman, Sam Venable wonders why computers are like mules, whether bib overalls really need a cell-phone pocket, and whether generic peanut butter ought to be a leading economic indicator. Whichever side of fifty you're on, You Gotta Laugh to Keep from Cryin' will keep you grinning like a geezer!

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Sam, October 18, 2003
By A Customer
This collection of stories is great like always. Sam is a modern-day Mark Twain. East and west coast busy-bodies can keep Dave Barry. The rest of us would do better with Sam.
