Book Description
America's funniest new humorist, P. S. Wall is a syndicated newspaper columnist who won the National Society of Newspaper Columnists award for humor writing in 1996. Her new book, My Love Is Free...But the Rest of Me Don't Come Cheap, is a compilations of stories that give a humorous spin to everyday occurrences, from the "evil youth-sucking bag boy" who mistook her for her sister's mother to falling asleep right before jumping out of a plane. This book will touch not only your heart but your funny bone as well.
Women need to talk. It's one of our basic requirements, right up there with food, shelter, and a good moisturizer with a sunscreen.
Children: Some animals eat their young. With humans it's the other way around.
Crime: The first time I got robbed, the thief stole all my underwear.
Cars: I used to be able to tell one car from another. A Cadillac looked like a Cadillac and a Honda looked like a sewing machine.
Retirement is like sex. Men love to talk about it, but when the time comes, they're good for about fifteen minutes, and then they're dying to put their tie back on.
Relationships: Some women run with wolves, but the majority would be much happier with your basic lap dog.
My Love Is Free...But the Rest of Me Don't Come Cheap is full of universal truths and experiences told from a refreshing perspective. With a combination of wit and sensitivity, P. S. Wall joins the ranks of other first-rate humorists such as Erma Bombeck, Bailey White, and Dave Berry. The writings from her column "Off the Wall," which is nationally syndicated by Andrews McMeel Universal, have brought praises from editors, publishers, and the guys at the Inland Container Paper Mill in New Johnsonville, Tennessee, who said, "We lone P. S. Wall's articles! She's our '90s kind of woman.
