The Stench of Honolulu: A Tropical Adventure by Jack Handey

I had much higher expectations because I love the "Deep Thoughts" from Jack Handey. This book was barely a plot strung together with mildly funny bits here and there. Mostly it just felt like an attempt to be silly but ended up feeling like a middle-school aged stream-of-consciousness story. Meh.

Deep Thoughts: Inspiration for the Uninspired by Jack Handey

I always laughed aloud when this segment came on Saturday Night Live, and this book brought back a lot of those memories! My favorite then, and still now, is the Disneyland one! I'm snickering right now as I type this! Thanks for the laughs Jack!

".. because, hey, free dummy." Lol!!!

The Stench of Honolulu: A Tropical Adventure by Jack Handey

It's rare that I can find a book that makes me laugh out loud. I laughed out loud at this book every minute I was reading it.
