Chamblee54

There was a “promoted” tweet yesterday. ‏@Scribd New on our blog! Laugh So Hard You’ll Pee, The 15 Funniest Lines From Sarah Silverman’s Book http://ow.ly/xGwYG. Usually annoucements like this include the word new. The book, The Bedwetter: Stories of Courage, Redemption, and Pee, was published April 20, 2010. That fact may be the funnier than the 15 lines.
Most of the lines were embedded in pictures, which means a blogger would have to retype them. This is too much work. The few in text form were not very funny. But then, neither is Sarah Silverman.
At this point life interrupts. A facility called yeah write had a contest. They wanted 42 words answering the question “What’s that sound?” The chamblee54 answer was Is Sarah Silverman Funny? The contest opened for entries at midnight sunday. PG was dealing with food poisoning, and in no shape to enter a writing contest. By the time he was better, the contest was full of entries.
Miss Silverman gave a TED talk. The big dog at TT said it was “G-d awful,” and did not allow it to be officially released. As part of his research for this project, PG saw the video. The last seven words of the poem: “don’t make me listen to it again.”
The publisher has a survey “to see if this is the book for you.” The only way PG gets books is at yard sales and the library. It will be interesting to see if the survey mentions those venues.
“1. Which of the following do you appreciate? (a) Women with somewhat horse-ish facial features. (b) Women who, while not super Jew-y, are more identifiably Jewish than, say, Natalie Portman. (c) Frequent discussion of unwanted body hair.
2. Are you offended by the following behavior? (a) Instructing one’s grandmother to place baked goods in her rectal cavity. (b) Stripping naked in public—eleven times in a row. (c) Stabbing one’s boss in the head with a writing implement.
3. The best way to treat an emotionally fragile young girl is: (a) Murder the main course of her Thanksgiving dinner before her very eyes. (b) Tell her that her older sister is prettier than she, and then immediately die. (c) Prevent her suicide by recommending she stay away from open windows.
If you read the above questions without getting nauseous or forming a hate Web site, you are ready to buy this book! Please proceed to the cashier.”
The survey did not indicate whether the book would be at the library, or a yard sale, soon. After four years, it is probably available in discount bins. Pictures today are from “The Special Collections and Archives, Georgia State University Library”.
