Book Overview

This amusing and philosophical discussion and musings on trivial matters such as birth and death and everything in between, including happiness, war and peace and money, will have you both laughing and experiencing philosophical moments as you ponder about these occasional incidents of life. You'll enjoy Marcel's unique takes and entertaining stories of: doctors actually being taught in medical school to keep patients waiting Why we'll help strangers in need but want to zap them when they line jump at the supermarket United Nations type conference held by kids in Montreal, on where babies come from little known revelation about a crusade of dentists in the year 1088 to the Holy Land how to implement capital punishment without actually executing the felon and many more! "Marcel Strigberger is an irrepressible humorist with a story teller's flair for spinning a yarn with true (and hysterically funny) insights into the basics of human nature". - Midwest Book Review

Dipsy-doodling through life.

If you want to sit back and enjoy a few lauchs at life,death and other things we all have to deal with as we continue along our everyday trials of life ;you will find it all in this little book.You gotta admit;it's a real breath of fresh air to get such down to earth humor from ,of all people,--a lawyer. Here is a fellow who had many struggles in deciding what to do with his life.He ended up as a lawyer;but don't let that fool you.He is realy a humorist at heart and a an observer of life;and more suited at entertaining us than doing his thing in a dreary courtroom. Canada is not particularly known to Americans for great humor.That could be because of our Socialist tendencies ---it ain't easy to live amongst Socialists and find much humor;but Strigberger is an exception. Some of Canada's best humor and sarcasm comes out of Montreal.Need I say more than,read Mordecai Richler.Maybe there is something in the water in and around St.Urban Street. For some irreverent views and observations on Birth,Death,Money,War and Peace,Md's,PHD's,Dentists,Lawers,People,and just about everything we deal with on a daily basis---sit back and enjoy a slightly bent but funny observer of life.
