“Learning the Ropes“ (the pirate story) and “The Big Nap“ were quite amusing. The rest? Not so much.

Discovered this at my work (ie. A local bookstore) and then rented it through the library.
Only a couple of stories really had me laughing (see "The Big Nap," in which the adventure of a toddler is told as a hard-boiled detective caper), but overall it's a great collection that provides much needed smiles.
Fun quick read with the quirky sense of humor you would expect from Simon Rich.
The hysterical Simon Rich is one of my favorite writers, but I didn't enjoy this one nearly as much as his others.
