HA! (Humanity's Absurdities) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798985887730)

HA! (Humanity's Absurdities) - From the mind of a retired harpsichord psychologist, this book touches upon the meaning of life in much the same way that a misplaced moist towelette does not. HA! is a sardonic parody, rife with irony, satire, and lampoons of every-day drivel-laden gibberish. Complete with a glossary of insightful and meaningless original vernacular, this volume will exercise your mind and keep you laughing, grinning, or smirkingly amused as you try to discern fiction from fabrication or mere falsehood. Replete with yasplarian and spongnacious content that may be ambiguous, biguous, or even tribiguous, but almost never factual.

In this stunning debut entry into the humor genre, Dr. Remo Perini, Poet, Scientist, Harpischord Psychologist, and winner of the rarely celebrated Insignificance Award for Unknown Literature, dives into an elaborate portrayal of Humanity's Absurdities which is abbreviated HA! As an author who aspires to become fictional, Perini looks at the world from an oblique angle and serves up ten mind-widening chapters of gibberish, drivel, and insanity that demonstrate respect for but complete misunderstanding of History, Writing, the Arts, Sports, Science and Medicine. The range of topics is further extended with the inclusion of periodical sections such as Missed Connections, For Rent, Employment, For Sale, and Entertainment that includes a crossword puzzle based on newly introduced jargon. Given that the majority of the content is drivel, Perini presents a Drivelometer to measure drivel content based on minimizing facts. With two co-authors who coincidentally have the same nickname, Tweebs, we learn that those contributors are sock puppets, one a right-foot white athletic sock, the other a left foot black dress sock. Despite these differences, both Tweebs' believe in their right to shoes.

The book's preface (which follows the templicative dedication, a taperstrian foreword, drivelword, apologies, a frontword, acknowledgements, and an early about the author) provides a history of humor and explains in the subsequent prolog, that the backstory for this book is the original formation of the universe. With ten chapters, Perini covers a lot of ground, including in Science and Medicine, the Inter-Steve Bypass that allows two people named Steve to share brains, and a description of the many Acts of Kindness that people can perform to make the world a better place, such as Mow your neighbor's lawn immediately after they finish mowing their lawn, or, stand at the end of a salad buffet and ask each customer, "Would you care for some fresh parsley?" HA! is a book that will be equally enjoyed by both intellectuals and the institutionalized with stories that can be read over and over, each time with continued appreciation for the art and unlimited humor of unrestrained drivel.
