A Slice of HamBOOK SUMMARYA Slice of Ham is a collection of humorous newspaper columns (essays) and profundities written by Hamilton Geddes and compiled by his friend and former editor, R.G. Andersen-Wyckoff.Noted author, Willma Willis Gore, wrote: "A Slice of Ham is timeless in its humor, bringing smiles, laughs, and memories to charm readers-universal in appeal-great solace for any day's frustrations." She further wrote: "...the book is absolutely great!! Couldn't put it down!!"Hamilton Geddes, "Ham," as his friends call him, manages to find humor in almost any topic or situation, from his dealings with politicians, observations on critical social and environmental issues, and medical procedures, to comments on cats, relationships, and aging. Such essays as: When the Moment is Right-I'm Not the Guy they Used to call 'Deep Throat'-Where the Sun Don't Shine-Loincloths Make The Man-Earth Enema-and Peeping Sam are bound to tickle your funny bone. As one reviewer commented, "If A Slice of Ham doesn't make you smile, chuckle, or guffaw-you're missing the humor gene."Hamilton has a talent for writing profundities that will make you laugh-"If you're standing ankle deep in manure, it does not help to step out of your boots," promote contemplation-"A bridge is both a joyous crescendo and a sad refrain," or make a serious statement-"Man is judged not just by the deeds he does, but by the deeds he could have done and didn't." A reviewer wrote: "I haven't seen a humorist make such profound statements since Will Rodgers..."In A Slice of Ham there is a surprise at every turn. As another reviewer wrote: "A Slice of Ham is the perfect addition to anyone's bathroom library."
