Welcome to the Funny Farm: The All-True Misadventures of a Woman on the Edge
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
There is no end to the sources of frustration, challenge, disaster-and humor!-in a woman's life, and there is no one more skilled at finding the merriment and wisdom in these everyday foibles and events than award-winning author and popular speaker Karen Linamen.
In her newest humor-packed release, Linamen (author of Just Hand Over the Chocolate and No One Will Get Hurt) guides readers on a side-splitting, hopeful, and entertaining tour of a woman's life, and in true, tongue-in-cheek Linamen style, no topic is off limits! Welcome to the Funny Farm covers everything from baby showers to cell phones, chin hair to Hamburger Helper, defrosted turkeys to Barry Manilow, and dumb blonde jokes to well-woman exams.
From the Back Cover
Is there udder chaos in your life?
You'll feel better after a trip to The Funny Farm!
What's worse-wearing the swimsuit you've had since the Nixon administration, or trying on three dozen others that look just as bad?
What can a woman do for an encore after backing over her husband's laptop with her car?
How long does it take to defrost a turkey with a hair dryer?
Karen Linamen offers a zany tour of the common woman's life in this collection of fifty humor columns, originally featured on the Women of Faith web site. With hilarious observations on everything from well-woman exams and holiday mayhem to chocolate binges and a dehydrated gecko, Linamen's insights ring familiar and true.
In addition to the belly-laughs, you'll also find plenty of truths about life sprinkled throughout her stories. (Don't think there's truth to be found in a dehydrated gecko? Think again!)
We all have days when we feel like we're going crazy, so why not make the trip with a friend? With Welcome to the Funny Farm, Karen Linamen invites you to join her for an outrageously good time that will leave you feeling better from the inside out! In addition to speaking around the country, Karen Linamen is a regular contributor to Today's Christian Woman and author of the bestsellers Just Hand Over the Chocolate and No One Will Get Hurt and Sometimes I Wake Up Grumpy . . . and Sometimes I Let Him Sleep. She lives in Duncanville, Texas, with her husband and two daughters.
