RIVERSIDE, Calif., May 30, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Life is too short to be taken too seriously. For a much needed dose of fun and laughter, author Chuck Closson presents Double Dealing: Incongruity and Surprise, a unique collection of humorous statements, prose, and poetry.
For Closson, humor has at least two elements: incongruity and surprise. All literature, poetry, or any reading materials are enriched by incongruity and surprise. In Double Dealing, the author's clever use of words and imagination allows him to create prose and poetry depicting double entendres brimming with witticism and equivocation. Get a copy of this book and enjoy the paradoxical humor.
