En savoir plus sur le livre

The 65 humor essays in Uranus Is Always Short Essays to Make You Laugh will make you laugh. But they'll also make you think. They'll make you think, "This is funny."You'll laugh not with Bill Spencer but at him as he grapples with his own identity in the face of students' view of him as "THE DEVIL" and a "COMPLETE jerk." You'll meet his relatives, including his adventurous wife, who might be an alien or a witch, who knows? You'll get an offbeat education in education and share in a gamut of experiences from spanking skunks to fleeing from attack geese to watching outhouse races on skis.Really. The essays are short, and there are also 26 even shorter Reader's Digest-type anecdotes. As another bonus, the book ends with scores of student bloopers collected by the author over thirty years.Need a good laugh?
