A collection of humorous essays including my parents' experiment with going over Niagara Falls in a 30-foot Chris Craft cabin cruiser; my father's inexplicable outbust that led to a major fast food chain going out of business; a brief introductory explanation of why you would be happier in Buffalo, as was Dr. Samuel Johnson; and how I modeled my moves with the ladies on our randy French poodle, Sir Oscar of Burbank, with little success.
