More Later: Lyle's Letters from the University

by Antero Alli

Whatever your taste in humor, office humor, or college humor, this zany collection of humorous stories is sure to make you laugh! "Lyle" is a fictional middle-aged editor of correspondence courses at a small university in the Midwest. In a matter-of-fact letter writing style Lyle writes to a friend about his life at the university,

Sounds boring? Just ask the mailroom clerk, Sortgood Shipman. Ask Professor Clay Pottsbetter from the Botany Department after Lyle visits him just in the nick of time. Ask the Wellness Center SWAT team. Or ask the formidable cafeteria lady, Samella. Then ask his coworkers when Lyle invents new games for the Office Picnic. Or the audience who thought they had just settled down to watch a campus production of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Finally, ask the various e-squads and emergency-room workers who, because of Lyle, have anything but a boring shift. When things happen to Lyle, things always happen to the people around him.

John Arthur Robinson is a master at creating ridiculously funny names and at putting Lyle in bizarre situations. Whatever usually makes you laugh, you'll find More Later to be priceless humor.
