Review title: disappointment
Product review: Having read Dan Jenkins' other works, I began this one with considerable eagerness. But it was soon obvious that the author was pushing too hard to be funny. In his other works the humor seemed to flow effortlessly--especially in "Semi Tough" and "Baja Oklahoma" and "Dead Solid Perfect." This isn't to say that the current work isn't without its moments. It's merely that it isn't up to Jenkins' own high standards. That's the sad part of a book that is supposed to be funny. Ya gotta play hurt, Dan. Ya gotta take chances to be funny. The only thing in the middle of the road is a yellow stripe and dead armadillos, as a Texas politician said.
