I am reading a rib-tickling amusing book ‘I lost everything in the post-natal depression’ by Erma Bombeck. I found this book trapped between other unread pieces. I usually read books when I am commuting, traveling or want to have a great time. And about picking this book, I am subliminally drawn to humor, satire, sarcasm, in fact all kinds of hilarity. I can quote few of my favorites from this book:
The husband is fond of back-yard cooking and has invited people for supper and the meal is taking longer than usual. Here’s the excerpt of the wife-husband conversation:
Husband: “Just a little longer. Are the guests getting hungry? Is it really that long?”
Wife: “Are you kidding? It’s the first time I have seen my fingernails grow.”
Husband: “Just a few minutes and the coal will be ready”
Wife: “Do you mean to say you haven’t put the meat on yet?”
Husband: “Give them some more hors d’oeuvres”
Wife: “It’s no use. They are beginning to get ugly”
Husband: “Go and check everyone to find out how they want the meat: rare, medium rare, etc.”
Wife: “13 raw, 14th one ate his coaster and said that would hold him”
Wife gets her hands on husband’s car, there’s a fender bender
Wife: “Where are you going?
She asks when she sees him leaving his dented fender and bolting towards the house
Husband: “Don’t move your car. I am going to call the police”
Wife: “Police?? For crying out loud, I’m your wife”
Husband: “This is no time for Nepotism”
And I giggle after reading this!
The ultimate one that got me rolling on the floor with laughter was:
I regard the obituary of the girdle factory with mixed emotion. It is like your mother in law moved out because there are snakes in your apartment.
Hahahahahah!
