Good day, and welcome To begin to set the stage for what you are about to embrace, there was an article written by a fellow - who had never met the man, Leonard ""Cap"" Tromblay. I was sent a copy of the article. I cherish it, as it brings to life just a glimmer of the light that shined (and shines) from the fire that was inside our Dad: "The highlight was when the longtime parishioner Leonard "Cap" Tromblay shared his memories, peppered with plenty of humor. The former schoolteacher - was received affectionately by the audience, like a favorite uncle. Even those of us who had never met him were instantly charmed. And those who had probably heard some of his stories a time or two before, obviously relished hearing them again." This book is a tribute to remember our Dad, portions of the sales will be helping fund a scholarship in honor of him in the school system that he helped develop programs in - and from which he retired from. This is the essence of the man. His infectious spirit.

Humor in the Gospels is the most comprehensive resource on Gospel humor to date. Terri Bednarz reviews and critiques a 150 years of biblical scholarship on the subject from little known journal articles and out-of-print books to the most well respected classical works of today. She covers a range of scholarly discussions on the various forms and functions of Gospel humor from frivolity to witty allusions to satirical barbs. She examines the barriers of associating humor with the Gospel depictions of Jesus, the difficulties of identifying humor in ancient biblical texts, and the advances of literary, contextual, and rhetorical approaches to recognizing Gospel humor. This important work includes an extensive bibliography for further study of Gospel humor in particular, and Biblical humor in general.
Humor In Youth - Collection #1 is a collection of three stories where the main character has to overcome a difficult situation. Nathan's Poor-Rich Birthday When Nathan's birthday is threatened to be overlooked he takes matters into his own hands. But will his efforts be enough? Finally, his big day arrives and what ensues is a day of fun, if not gross, adventures. The Shared Treehouse When Bucky, the neighborhood bully, attacks Liam a chain of events is unleashed. During the aggressive rage Carrie drops her drawing of a treehouse. To her it is only a dream, for she doesn't have a tree big enough in which the treehouse can be built. Leave it to Liam to figure out how the project can be made. It won't be easy, for these kids are as green as their ages are young. Yet, when an unexpected ally helps them, the fort among the trees begins to take shape. Michael Forgives His Tuxedo Michael thought he would love his new pet. However, it didn't take him long to discover the cat has a mind of his own. When frustration gets the better of Michael he gives his mother an ultimatum. An ultimatum that just may get him hurt. Young readers will enjoy the charm of all three tales of triumph over troubling times.

Modern poetry, at least according to the current consensus, is difficult and often depressing. But as Humor in Modern American Poetry shows, modern poetry is full of humorous moments, from comic verse published in popular magazines to the absurd juxtapositions of The Cantos. The essays in this collection show that humor is as essential to the serious work of William Carlos Williams as it is to the light verse of Phyllis McGinley. For the writers in this volume, the point of humor is not to provide “comic relief,” a brief counterpoint to the poem’s more serious themes; humor is central to the poems’ projects. These poets use humor to claim their own poetic authority; to re-define literary tradition; to show what audience they are writing for; to make political attacks; and, perhaps most surprisingly, to promote sympathy among their readers. The essays in this book include single-author studies, discussions of literary circles, and theories of form. Taken together, they help to begin a new conversation about modernist poetry, one that treats its lighthearted moments not as decorative but as substantive. Humor defines groups and marks social boundaries, but it also leads us to transgress those boundaries; it forges ties between the writer and the reader, blurs the line between public and private, and becomes a spur to self-awareness.
