Let the world's funniest sportsman tickle your funny bone with quirky homespun stories and whimsical perspectives on life. Patrick F. McManus gently pokes fun at the oddities of sacred institutions like friendship, marriage, and even hunting and fishing. Soon his crazy theories start making sense, and you know you've crossed the border into McManus country, where life is a little lighter - and much more amusing. McManus initiates you into his world with intimate tales of cub scout pranks, high-school football rituals, and other rites of passage. He conveys an appealing sense of old-fashioned innocence that allows you to see the humor in modern life.
Narrator Norman Dietz's comic genius brings out the full flavor of McManus' unique style. With Dietz's narration, you'll feel you're sitting in a patio chair, with a can of beverage and box of cigars, swapping stories with a buddy.

"Once again, McManus writes of the great outdoors and what can go wrong while experiencing it, including snakes, incompetence, childhood, bears, mechanical ineptitude, procrastination, worrying, and overconfidence. Not to mention wives, game wardens, and Cub Scouts." — John (4 out of 5 stars)
