Last month my in-laws gave me a book called "Chicken Soup for the Nature Lover's Soul". I've never read any of the books in this series, although I'm familiar with them from seeing them at the store. In general, they are comprised of lots of very short stories that are supposed to be uplifting and inspirational.
It was a very enjoyable read, but I have one gripe: it seemed like every single story contained some sort of tragedy. Here is my general synopsis of most of the stories:
"Bob loved fishing and the outdoors. Bob was a natural fisherman. One day Bob caught the biggest fish ever. Later that night Bob commented on what a perfect day it was. Bob went to sleep and died from a tumor in his brain."
How the crap is that supposed to be uplifting and inspirational??? Here's the version that I am going to print in my book, whenever I get around to it:
"Bob loved fishing and the outdoors. Bob was a natural fisherman. One day Bob caught the biggest fish ever. Later that night Bob commented on what a perfect day it was. He went outside, hopped his fence, and nailed the supermodel next door and her five best friends from the Swedish bikini team. For a twist, they did it in the back yard under the trees. Isn't nature great?"
I like my version better, what do you think?
