This is my funniest 2 ed by Mike Resnick


I found about a quarter of the stories to be funny or worthwhile, but the gems were worth the slog through the weaker stories. 3/5 Stars.  In particular, the self-proclaimed "hay seed" farmer's diatribe describing a character

You look like somebody beat out a fire on your face with an ugly stick. You look like five miles 'a bad road. You look like the reason first cousins hadn't ought t'get married. Your liddle, squinchy eyes are all pupil; your nose is like a burnt pancake, and your jaws like a bear-trap.

. . . had me  laughing out loud.
