What do an 800-pound gorilla, a Japanese baseball player and a harried waiter in a seafood restaurant have in common? They’re all part of the colorful, comic cast of characters that populate Seemed Funny at the Time. Ranging from the darkly satirical to the downright absurd, this little book of ten short humor pieces includes a direct mail sales pitch for an oh-so-exclusive credit card, entries from a struggling writer’s diary, a one-act play with an all-animal cast, a 60-year-old lamenting his lost physical prowess, and more. If you don’t find yourself laughing as you read these stories, just remember - they seemed funny at the time.
