A Senator missing since 1971; four middle-class department store robbers; a red-hooded waif on her way to assassinate the President; a man who discovers the world's best soft drink; a taxi driver unknowingly transporting large bags of cocaine; a chicken that crosses the road: these twenty-three short stories and dialogues will have you spinning in your chair, wondering whether to laugh or scream. Author Phil Mershon both delights and mystifies with a serrated blade in the funniest and perhaps most thought-provoking book of the year.
