Will Ross might literally be the finest satirist writer to ever be born in any civilization, anywhere, and at anytime in the history of the entire Universe. I say that without any bragging whatsoever. He is the best!
Will Ross's writing talent is stupendously awesome. He has a very rare talent to completely merge multiple grossly divergent situations into the funniest slices of life, the universe, and wicked humor.
Will's writing is so engrossing that I read the entire work in one day. I could not put down the stories.
It is not a good idea to eat food while reading Will's stories. It is not a pretty sight when you are laughing so hard that juice and cookies fly out your nose. Learn from my experience, grasshopper.
The very least that the universe could do is to move galaxies around to spell out Will Ross's name in the night time sky. These stories will have you in stitches and probably change how you look at your life that you have lived to now.
BUY THIS BOOK and enjoy the wild ride.

TL;DR is a collection of some of Ross's funniest short stories and poems. From the moment I started reading I couldn't stop laughing. This was a very entertaining read and I highly recommend this book.

Not quite what I expected...
I enjoy satire like many folks, but this book is beyond dry. Save for a single poem about Jackson Pollock and a single short story about airline safety, this read wasn't my cup of tea in the least.

Meh
Didn't love it, didn't hate it. It was pleasant, but even right after finishing it it feels insubstantial. If you want a light diversion for an hour, this fits the bill.

I am so glad that I persevered after the initial story in this collection. A lot of these essays are humorous and the satire is well written. I look forward to more of the musings of Will Ross.
