This is a hilarious memoir of humorous stories and anecdotes that the author accumulated during 51 years of marriage. They include: - Burying the family dog after rigor mortise had set in. - Talking to a bank officer about acquiring a loan to build an ark. - Shopping with the wife and the pitfalls involved, such as when the saleslady called him a tasteless idiot. - Avoiding any word that might be construed by the wife as a comment on her weight. "You might fall out of your chair laughing when you read this book. The Gentle War and Other Idle Thoughts is full of really funny anecdotes that bring out the southern humor of a unique personality. It's a great read that will leave you wanting to meet James Caskey." -Boyd Lemon, author of Retirement: A Memoir and Guide and six other books
