A hearty guffaw, a long-winded chortle, and the release of that gas bubble that gave you insomnia last night are waiting for you on the reading of Coffin To Fakie. Sometimes, it's minor stuff, like listening to a sexist/racist jerk at the country club telling jokes that he wouldn't be able to tell anywhere else -- and then finding yourself having to chortle at his obscenities because, after all, he's your boss' best friend. Many a tense negotiation was eased by his infectious chortle, always deployed in timely fashion. |
