Where to begin …
Midnight Confessions by Stephen Colbert $19.95
This is the brief book by a comedian who admits that what he's done is basically turned a bunch of one-liners into two pages per joke. I quote: "When I put together this book, I asked God for inspiration. When that didn't work, I used a large font and wide margins." He wasn't kidding.
Selected travel tidbits:
"I've never joined the Mile-High Club, but I am in the Greyhound Bus Terminal Utility Closet Guild."
"I think income inequality is one of America's greatest problems … until they bring me that little hot towel in First Class."
"You know how on airplanes they have that Secure your oxygen mask before helping others rule? I don't need to be told that."

James F, Scasserra Jimmy "Jet"
Hearts are breaking everywhere with the shocking news and unexpected death of the man, the myth, the legend - Jimmy Jet, 67, at home in Tucson, AZ.
Born May 6, 1951, Jimmy was blessed with a handsome façade, ice-blue eyes, big heart, superior intelligence and wit and a memory like no other and a wicked sense of humor. (here follows a long list of presumably relatives complete with nicknames) He will be missed by all. This is not a ploy to avoid creditors, bookies or old girlfriends."
