Description
About the Book
McManus is usually the butt of his own jokes in this collection, starting with the title story--good samaritan Pat knows enough about the dangers of emergencies to take his time getting to one--and ending with "The Worry Box"--when one worry disappears, there's always another to replace it.
Book Synopsis
Hilarious and heartwarming stories of outdoor mishaps and misadventures from the beloved five-time New York Times bestselling humorist, Patrick F. McManus, "a writer who makes people laugh out loud, hard." (The New York Times)
Gathering together twenty-four of his hysterical stories about camping, hunting, woodwork, and fishing, The Good Samaritan Strikes Again features not only McManus's follies with Mother Nature, but those with human nature as he recalls his first kiss, his public relations career, his less than helpful attempt to be a good Samaritan to an injured motorist, and much more.
Including such classic stories as "The Worry Box" and "Ah, Sweet Poverty!"
