Excerpt from Eye Openers: Good Things, Immensely Funny Sayings Stories That Will Bring a Smile Upon the Gruffest Countenance
Augustus Twain seems to have made some thing of a stir about the year 1160. He was as full of fun as he could be, and used to take his old sabre and sharpen it up, and get in a convenient place on a dark night, and stick it through people as they went by, to see them jump. He was a born humorist. But he got to going too far with it; and the first time he was found stripping one of these parties the authorities removed one end of him, and put it up on a nice high place on Temple Bar, where it could contemplate the people and have a good time. He never liked any situation so much or stuck to it so long.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a humorous and insightful journey through the life and times of a unique American character. The author, in the style of a self-deprecating and witty narrator, delves into his family history, exploring a lineage populated by colorful, often eccentric individuals. Through anecdotes about his ancestors, from highwaymen and soldiers to a ââ Å"petrified manââ  and a ââ Å"bloody massacre,ââ  the author skillfully reveals the absurdity of history and the unpredictable nature of human behavior. The book touches upon themes of social satire, the pursuit of notoriety, and the oddities of human nature. By juxtaposing the seemingly ordinary with the extraordinary, the author invites readers to question their own perception of truth and reality, ultimately providing a fascinating commentary on the art of storytelling and the enduring power of the human spirit.
