Tasty Bits: Humor for the Hungry Mind
From Jon Sindell's comic kitchen come forty-one morsels to please the palate of the most thoughtful fan of funny, from savory satires to pungent parodies to spicy spoofs and more.
"Jon Sindell has read everything, thought about everything, laughed about everything, and shown us how to laugh too, just when we need it most. His crazily inspired and carefully crafted short humor pieces stand with the best that any contemporary American has done in this neglected and undervalued medium. I've often had the pleasure of publishing his work. Now all of us have the pleasure of seeing these pieces collected in one place for posterity. Posterity had better damn well appreciate it." ~ Kurt Luchs, humorist, poet, and editor of The Big Jewel (2002-2019)
"Eight-score-minus-three years from now, some dude will invoke my spirit in no fewer than one-score-minus-sixteen `tasty bits,' it seems." ~ Abraham Lincoln
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to miss the jokes." ~ George Santayana
"You et too, Brute? So what’s with the steak knife?" ~ Julius Caesar
