| Texas humor columnist Diana Estill will sign copies of her new book, Driving on the Wrong Side of the Road, at Barnes & Noble, 2701 Parker Rd., Round Rock, TX, 2:00-4:00 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 17, 2007. |
Driving on the Wrong Side of the Road: Humorous Views on Love, Lust, and Lawn Care includes more than 50 funny stories about everything from snoring remedies to designer dogs and toilet repairs.
The following excerpts are from a few of these tales:
From "Why Men Grill"-- Our female ancestors reasoned that large smoke plumes indicated a sizeable roast (or else another cheap blind date trick). Hence, the guy with the biggest column generally won the girl.
From "Massage: A Touchy Subject"-- My body has the consistency of a waterbed; push it here, and it bubbles up over there. Why would I want an innocent stranger to suffer the task of kneading my bloated belly?
From "Football Terms for Dummies"-- "We Won!" -- During football season "we" can mean "yes," sort of like it does in French. When your partner says, "We won!" you can pretty much interpret this to mean "yes" to anything you want for the rest of the day.
From "Men and Malls Don't Mix"-- Guys follow grids. Women look for landmarks---like Nordstrom and Dillard's.
