The Funny Stuff

di Tim Patrick (Autore)

Owani Press, 2025

Cast your mind back to 2008, right when the subprime mortgage crisis was pushing not just America but the entire world into recession, and presidential candidates were promising the kind of hope and change that they had for centuries. A funny time it was not, but that didn't stop Tim Patrick from publishing a humor column for near on ten years. Pulled from the news stories of the day, with a few anecdotes about Santa Claus and invading hoards of ants mixed in for good measure, the articles he offered up provided respite from the depressing headlines that followed the global recession. In The Funny Stuff, Patrick presents dozens of his satirical and humorous essays, each only mildly edited to help you recall the full measure of life in the early 2000s. You'll find laughable coverage of politics and religion, admittedly the low-hanging fruit of the humor world. But try being funny about the plight of cows not treated with rBST. Actually, no need to try, since a ready-made column about that very topic appears in these pages! If you pine for a quieter world before eighty-year-olds started taking control of the White House, or you simply believe that a spoonful of satire makes the world easier to swallow, you can do no better than to spend an afternoon with The Funny Stuff.
