About the Book

This is a collection of comical blunders, bloopers, profound and provocative misquotes. Laughter is the only tranquilizer with no known side effects, always “good for what ails you.” Every environment--work place, pulpit, the media, medical, courtroom, political--yields abundant opportunities for humorous slip-ups. The trick is to be an alert listener, become a blooper snooper, and document each faux pas.

The one-liners presented in this montage were seized as people unheedingly and carelessly spun their web of amusing blunders. Frequently, they show no awareness as they let slip yet another indiscretion. The ridiculous and hilarious situations create one of the most superb literary buffets you ever “put in your whole mouth.”

Appreciate such chapters as RUN THAT BY ONE MORE TIME, DISPLACED AXIOMS, I KNOW WHATCHA MEAN and JUST PICTURE THAT!, full of such profound and accidentally ignorant statements that humor is the natural outcome. Try and visualize what was actually said rather than guess what was intended. Often the only conclusion is “WHATEVER YOU SAY” or “YOU’VE GOTTA BE KIDDING!”

About the author

Charles Harville and wife, Elaine, live in north Louisiana. Since retirement, they pursue their interest of reaching out. They are industrious and active in the local community, church and their Shreveport home and backyard. Desiring a greater awareness of their surroundings, they visit distant places in their frequent travels. They have two married sons and four grandchildren. Before retiring from AT&T, Charles worked as an accountant, materials manager and industrial instructor. Elaine, a Certified Professional Secretary, also retired from AT&T/Lucent.

Charles has done many things. He has a commercial pilot’s license and instrument rating, and relishes glider-piloting sailplanes. He is a former church musician, and still periodically presents professional performances. His several years in Toastmasters honed an interest in the use of speech, or lack thereof, as a prime communication tool, thus launching his career in humor.
