Book Summary
In Ant Farm, former Harvard Lampoon president Simon
Rich finds humor in some very surprising places. Armed with
a sharp eye for the absurd and an overwhelming sense of
doom, Rich explores the ridiculousness of our everyday
lives. The world, he concludes, is a hopelessly terrifying
place–with endless comic potential.
–If your
girlfriend gives you some “love coupons” and then breaks up
with you, are the coupons still valid?
–What kind of
performance pressure does an endangered male panda feel when
his captors bring the last remaining female panda to his
cage?
–If murderers can get into heaven by accepting
Jesus, just how awkward is it when they run into their
victims?
Join Simon Rich as he explores the
extraordinary and hilarious desperation that resides in
ordinary life, from cradle to grave.
"Hilarious."
–Jon Stewart
