and maybe even if it isn't, you should check out the set of wonderful essays by
Colin Nissan on
this McSweeney's page.
Warning: These essays and the rest of this entry use curse words. Don't go there or read on if that bothers you. I first encountered Nissan's work on the McSweeney's mug that bears the title of the first essay on the above page:
"It's Decorative Gourd Season, Motherfuckers". The title and the mug cracked me up, but when I read the essay, I laughed far harder.
Each essay I've read--and I am doling them out to myself, like expensive treats--has been at least amusing and usually far funnier than that.
My current favorite, and an essay I cannot read aloud without breaking down in laughter, is
"It's Naked Time". Many parts of this one crack me up, but the last two lines are particularly funny--if you have the same sort of (some call it "sick") sense of humor as I do.
Enjoy--but I have warned you this is not for everyone.
