More quietly hilarious and deceptively meaningful essays by David Boyne
Ask Me Anything
What was she going to ask me? What secret humiliation from my long life was I about to reveal? Was she about to ask me, “How much LSD did you take in high school? Have you ever been arrested? Ever slept with another man? Is your car radio set to an easy listening cool jazz station?”
Just One Thing
Curly Do you know what the secret of Life is?
[holds up one finger]
Curly This.
Mitch Your finger?
Curly One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and the rest don't mean shit.
Mitch But, what is the “one thing?”
Curly [smiles] That's what you have to find out.
Naked Woman On The Side Of The Road
As I drove over the hill and continued on my way, I looked at the mental picture I had taken and what intrigued me most about the mystery of the naked woman on the side of the road—was her smile. I had glimpsed such a smile on others, in random, unrelated moments, including carpenters hammering nails while framing a house, and the Dalai Lama in a television interview listening intently to a question he had probably been asked 7,000 times before.
Why Ask Why?
“A man can’t just sit around.”
—Larry Walters
Tai Chi? Me?
The Communists sentenced Bach Pham to a prison camp on the Chinese border.
“Six years there,” he said, and I saw his easy smile flicker for a moment. “Very hard there. I meet Chinese prisoner. He learn I speak Russian. He say he teach the t’ai chi to me if I teach Russian. I think to myself, what is this t’ai chi? No deal. But then I think, what else I going do here?”
AND 4 MORE OFFBEAT ESSAYS exploring the irony in the ordinary events of life swirling around us as we drive our cars, stand in line for a 1400 calorie cheeseburger, wait in our doctor’s office, or sit at a desk with our eyes and mind continuously jumping from one to another of three computer screens while the click click click of the mouse under our hand counts out the passing moments of our life.
"These essays brim with profound insight. They are tales of ordinary life, extraordinarily observed. And they're funny. So funny you hardly know he's making you think 'til you catch yourself doing it."
--Patty Kadel, Cartoonist (PattyKadel.com)
You Must Be Present to Win Happy Accidents Book 5 edition by David Boyne Humor Entertainment eBooks
Mr. Boyne speaks to a part of me I had all but forgotten. We share similar experiences, though by different routes - I have never wanted to live in California, I think Hawai'i is better. His use of the written word is masterful, and the comedic/ironic touches are just right. The fact that he is a childhood friend only increases my admiration: out of the many things I thought he might turn out to be, writer was never one of them. His trip has brought him to a place where he can amuse and inform people in a very effective way.Product details
