Marching Bands Are Just Homeless Orchestras
by
Tim Siedell
If you're looking for glass-half-full affirmations, you're in luck. The bookstore or library is half full of that kind of crap. What you're holding here is a collection of quips and observations with a refreshingly gloomy, sometimes twisted, always funny take on life. Or lack thereof.
With illustrations by renowned artist Brian Andreas, this book is a glimpse inside the hum

Marching Bands are Just Homeless Orchestras is a (very) short book of hilarious one-liners by Tim Siedell, also known as @badbanana on Twitter. This book reads like the transcript of a Mitch Hedberg comedy routine, so if you like Mitch Hedberg you'd likely enjoy this too. The only downside of this book is that it is ludicrously short — I wish it had more hilariousness.

Hilarious. I follow @badbanana on twitter. You should too. I was very excited to see this book. My only complaint is that it's not nearly long enough. literally: a 10 minute kindle read.
But I think you'll find his advice on meetings is invaluable.
I can't wait to see volume 2.
highly, highly recommend.

One of the funniest books I have ever read. Only took about 20 minutes but I laughed out loud through 90% of it. If you don't follow @Badbanana on twitter you should. He's just as funny in real life.
Loved it! I follow him on Twitter & enjoy every post! Glad to have a bunch all in one packet for when I need a quick laugh. Or need to pawn a witty line as my own.
Best book ever?
Probably not... but the format is really cool and something I'm going to think about for future publishing reference.

Tim Siedell puts together some of his favorite witticisms and are accented by the whimsical drawings of Brian Andreas. A fun read!
Amusing (and in some places very funny) but not much of a 'book' - just read @badbanana twitter feed instead
Quick humor is sometimes the best humor. This is one of those times.
Very funny book! I enjoyed reading this.
Good, quick lolz.
What did I think? Here's what I thought - my review of the book:

It's like a pamphlet of this guy's tweets, but with illustrations. I'm all about one-liners and I think it takes a lot of talent to set up an entire comedic scenario and comment on it in two sentences or less. This guy can do it. This really should be a bathroom book.
Very short, very funny book of one liners from Tim Siedell. If you follow @badbanana on twitter you know what to expect.
I'd write more, but then this review would be longer than the book.

I love badbanana. If you haven't checked out his twitter, or facebook page, you must!!! This book was awesome. I loved the illustrations almost as much as the writing.
Absolutely hilarious read. The illustrations add a new dimension to the wit and witticism of Mr. Tim Siedell. A must read for humor lovers.
