Grass Roots Hunting, Fishing and Husband and Wife Humor
Fisherman’s Note: If you’re a sportsman, or married to one, you will relate to these fictional short stories and characters.
Timber Ridge is a place for men and women who love the outdoors, some friendly competition and the special ability to laugh at ... each other. Tucked way back northwoods wilderness, where there is only one source of civilization, and I use the word sparingly, is a place called Shorty Baker’s General Store, where the wood stove is hot, the coffee is free and smart talkers stand three deep at the bait counter.
Sweep away the problems and concerns of your daily life and join the hilarious adventures of Gunny, W.W. and the whole Timber Ridge Gang as they manage to stay one step ahead of Wardens, Wives and especially Buncher and a daily chore list she cracks like a whip. It’s not just man versus man, or man versus nature, it’s man versus woman. In fact, if you don’t see yourself in these stories you’ll surely see your spouse. And you know that’s always good for a few laughs.
Excerpt: Store proprietor Gunny speaks candidly about a life long affliction that, he claims, prevents him from performing daily chores around the store.
“I’ve been aware of my unique malady since I was a youngster. And by now I’ve learned to accept it, but my wife Buncher is in denial. Poor kid. She doesn’t believe I was born with, H.T.D.F.T., that’s right, ‘Hands That Don’t Fit Tools! Though it doesn’t stop her from trying to force chores and, occasionally, even a tool on me. Officially, I call it Chore Deficiency Syndrome. She calls it Chore Dodging Lazyassism. She always stresses the capital L. Yes, it can get ugly around here.”
It’s grass roots humor for outdoors people everywhere. Come to Timber Ridge for good times and lots of hunting, fishing and chore dodging smart talk.
(Great little humor escapes for air planes, waiting rooms and night stands.)
