Not a bad collection of stories from Michael Laimo. The stories do have an edge bordering on extreme horror. My favourite Laimo short story is among these - if you need the mens room badly while at an airport you really don't need to experience anything similar - I laughed so hard that I had to put the book down for a good while.
