Naked
This morning, over a third cup of coffee, I finished David Sedaris' side-splitting newest book "Naked". Not quite as funny as "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim", but close.
In the final chapter, he orders a brochure from a nudist colony for his brother, a floor sander who, due to a recent polyurethane spill, had been discovered naked by the startled owners of the condo in which he had been working. "Included in the envelope is a calendar of events. In May they held a golf-cart rally, several themed campfires, a chili cook-off, and something called Wild West horseback riding. Test eye shadow on all the rabbits you want. Strap electrodes to the skulls of rhesus monkeys and shock them into a stupor, but it is inhumane to place a nudist on horseback the day after a chili cook-off."
