Perfect for the coffee table or bathroom, Wood's serious silliness covers the topics we all must live with, from information overload to identity theft to hypocrisy to cancer to surprise parties to home invasion to religion to dung beetles taking over Washington DC.

The best way to enjoy this hodge-podge collection of short pieces is to let go of all your expectations and just let Jim Wood’s images and turns of phrases roll over you completely. Immerse yourself in his wild imagery, bizarre non-sequiturs and strange tales and you will definitely find yourself laughing out loud. Celebrities including Clint Eastwood and John Wayne make absurd appearances, and you may find yourself rooting for the dung beetle. One of the odder things about this collection is occasionally Wood slips in some theological questions that are quite serious and thought-provoking.
Be prepared to have your mind blown IN A NUT’S HELL.
