This book is about a group of seasoned teachers quite dedicated to their profession but also having limitless humor in their every day activities. This book consists of the memories of some of the teachers that spent 15 years or more teaching at a Junior High School in Williamsburg Brooklyn. When not in the classroom they gathered in the second floor teachers' lounge which was to be called "The Bums Room". These guys spent hours being entertained and unwinding in that bums room. Since retiring many of the bums stayed connected talking on the phone and socializing with each other in various size groups. No matter where or how we were together, the conversation steered to many individual bums, their antics and personalities. During every conversation one of us would blurt out, there should be a book about the bums room, but who's gonna believe it?

If you need to escape the problems of the day, open this book and start a journey into absurdity. Whit Whitley, a creative screenwriter and open-mike comedy performer who has performed in numerous film and theater productions, shares a compilation of his open mike monologues presented in character. You'll be entertained by a series on his comic travels, which have taken him to various destinations. His anecdotal stories will have your mind so redirected with extreme zaniness that you will have to take a break before going back to work. The author's situational comedies will also have you wondering where in the world he came up with such crazy stories. His parody songs, altered poems, and his monologues will delight anyone with a sense of humor. Today, however, even the great Groucho Marx, who never used profanity, would be criticized by some for his humor and banter. So, if this analogy applies to you, put down this book because others will be laughing it off.

This theatrical Romantic Comedy tells the story of NIKKI JOHNSON, a young gifted writer from Salina, Kansas, who travels to New York City in the early 1970s to meet with the highly regarded publisher CHARLES RESTON, president of his own company. Nikki is laying it all on the line for this meeting hoping Reston will open a door for her in pursuing her dream of becoming a novelist. Moving in with ANITA JOHNSON, a high fashion graphic designer in her early 30s, works perfectly for Nikki's plans. That is, until Nikki unexpectedly falls for Anita's boyfriend JAKE ROTHMAN. Nikki is on the ropes and is forced to choose between possibly the love of her life and a professional writing career, in a time when women were forced to choose between a career or a personal life. There is humor and pathos in this love triangle. (Finalist Panowski/Forest Roberts Theatre Award and presented in the Norris Theatre New Play Discovery Series.)

This small work is only 60 pages long and is strictly an introduction to the larger platform of religious books by author George M. Papa. More like a pamphlet than a book, this work is chalked with current information regarding the aftermath of the restoration, which began in 1820. More precisely, this book is a series of essays and commentary on a number of topics that the author feels would be of interest to a newcomer to religion.Up front it explains the fall of Adam and the critical Atonement of Christ, which few know.In its own unique way, this treatise both attacks and explains religion. Admittedly, it skips, bounces and jumps from topic to topic, but it does so within the framework of a spontaneous 'fire for effect', which is intended to appeal to one who knows little or nothing about religion per se, yet does not object to the candor of an insider who is happy to spill the beans.The question arises, what is religion? The answer is simple. In the beginning, there was only one religion, and it was pure and undefiled, with information coming directly from God to Adam and Eve. All of the doctrine, promises, covenants and ordinances were included.

No man since Jesus Christ has generated more religious interest than Joseph Smith - the founder of Christ's restored New Testament Church, who claimed he was called of God and ordained by divine messengers, including Peter, James and John, as directed by Jesus Christ.On its face, this is astonishing information! If God did give revelation, that means there is a God, and his message is vital for this world.Consequently, it is incumbent upon every person on this earth - bar none - to know that message and be responsible for its application. Christ did say: "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life." John 10:27-28.There was a message, and it was prophesied in Isaiah 29, beginning with verse 12: "And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Therefore, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people.""And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of darkness. The meek shall increase their joy in the Lord, and they shall come to understanding, and they shall learn doctrine."The fulfillment of this scripture is that In 1820 near Palmyra, in upper state New York, a lad of 14 named Joseph Smith wanted to know which of all the congregations he should join from among the many churches and their ministers, who vied for converts in that region.Joseph went to the woods to ask in prayer, as to which religion he should join. There he received a vision from God and his Son, Jesus Christ, who told him that none of the churches were true, because they only taught the doctrines and commandments of men.Joseph was also told that other heavenly messengers would assist him to restore God's New Testament gospel. Also prophesied as quoted above, is that a particular book would come forth.However, the receiver would not be 'learned', yet the 'deaf shall hear' and the 'the eyes of the blind shall see out of darkness' due to the divine 'doctrine' of that book.Today that book is known as The Book of Mormon, after the great military general and prophet who compiled it circa 400 AD, in the land which is now known as North America. That book was first published in English in 1829 and has since been translated into 97 languages. Today, 200 years later, Christ's restored New Testament Church has over 16 million global members.The invitation is to read 'Joseph Part I' for additional information as to this historic topic. Enjoy!

Who was the best lawman in the Wild West? Not Wyatt Earp or the Lone Ranger (fictional) but Bass Reeves was the best one. Why? You will find out by reading this historical novel about a nonfictional man who had God and courage on his side along with many experiences that qualified him to rise from slavery to lawman. He was a committed Christian, shot very well only in self-defense, and had a great sense of humor that enabled him to be the best in the Wild West!

A feisty 60-something woman and a spirited spirit solve a murder. After a cross-country trip driving an F-150 and hauling a vintage camper Mabel Gold has proven to herself-and her doubting kids-that she still has it in her. She's not sure what, but it's something. Brooklyn smarts? Or, perhaps, after transplanting herself to Florida, it's just sheer wacky-ness. Florida is full of it. But that's what she needed when she left her two-timing husband and his bimbo new wife back in Long Island. Back in Florida, Mabel settles down in her cozy pink bungalow where she can take a break from helping her new pal-Irma. To some people (those who can't see her), the former long-legged Las Vegas showgirl might be a ghost. For Mabel, who discovered Irma haunting her vintage camper, she's as real as real can be. After all, Irma sat in the shotgun seat all across the country. It was Irma who got Mabel involved in solving murders from Savannah to Nashville and all the way to the Rockies. Mabel has drawn the line. It was a long summer trying to help Irma do enough good deeds to get her promoted from purgatory to heaven. It didn't work. As Mabel sips her pina colada and watches pink flamingos, real and plastic, she tells Irma to wait until next summer. They can try again. If Mabel thinks Irma will let leave her alone to watch a Cuban cop on the intercoastal canal, it's Mabel who's gone wacky. Irma's discovered a new murder. This one might do the trick to get her on her way up to the pearly gates. If you like kooky mysteries, you'll love Mabel and Irma.
