This collection of humor is full of trenchant wit, with satirical pieces whose point pricks math teachers, love song lyrics, opossums, cannibals, and an obsessive-compulsive magician. On other pages, humor is self-deprecating and gentle instead, with wordplay regarding how we greet, teach, argue, and cope with whizzed phlox!? There is a warning about carbon dating and homework-eating dogs, a Chrismas play for bright third-graders, and, of course, a story of the fate of a theater that did not stock enough lips.
