Some chuckles and smiles to be had in this collection of silly stories.

I can't believe I have something published (pg. 58) in this book of well-known comedy writers. Bill Cosby and Robert Fulghum are here. But on to the review: I don't laugh out loud very often. When I read the comics, I occasionally nod, but rarely even snicker. But this book had me laughing, chuckling, guffawing and reading out loud to the dogs. My favorite was Margot Starbuck's "Safe Travel," about the travails of getting through airport security. It is so right on, from the check-in kiosks to stripping for the x-ray machine to the self-flush toilet that doesn't. Share it with your friends, and if you have a chance, mention that Sue Lick is sharing a book with Bill Cosby.
