They're Only Words

Here are more short, funny essays that have been broadcast on the Public Radio show "Weekend Radio." The essays include topics from literature - like words that Shakespeare invented and what he never said and oxymorons and words you never knew existed and middle names of famous people - and issues of our times - like automatic men's rooms and lottery scams and kids' inventions and Luddites among us and why everybody should go to law school. The essays are so short, you can read one while waiting for a bus or while your bread is in the toaster. The best place to store this book may be in your bathroom, where reading material is always appreciated.
