Grab this Hilarious Book if you possibly can!

This is the wonderful story of a cryptic runestone which two lunkheaded gas station attendants find while clamming in Maine. Everyone in town either becomes a Viking enthusiast(for tourism) or a sceptic (for a variety of reasons). The Down East Country music lyrics composed by the 2 heroes, like "The Overalls I Wear May be Green, but I'm the Bluest Car Mechanic You Ever Have Seen," are alone worth the price of the book. I've read this at least 7 times, and encourage everyone else to do so as well!
