Humor

What made me write this book is from overhearing dumb remarks, and questions people ask. You might have heard a few of these over the years or have been guilty to contributing to a few of these questions. (I’ll admit, I am just as guilty for asking dumb questions too). If you really think about it, those dumb questions are really funny. These are really dumb questions that are meant to be taken serious.

“My reply to myself” section is just a sarcastic version of what most people like myself would like to say out loud but wouldn’t dare to. However, it is said with plenty of attitude with the eyes and body language. Can you imagine someone responding out loud with plenty of body and hand language?

For example, Oh! I know he didn’t just ask me that! Can you imagine the head and neck motion or maybe the eyes rolls up in your head from disgust or disbelief. Well, basically this is the way we kind of see ourselves but doing it quietly within ourselves. If only you could really read people minds when you ask a dumb question and you really don’t realize it. Some questions are so foolish it can leave you speechless.

This is just a collection of things people tend to say that comes right off of the top of their heads without any thought; you know the old adage, “Mouth in motion before Brain in gear”. I’m sure you will come up with more of your own experiences that may not be included.

Here are many examples of my favorite dumb things people say. You may find yourself chuckling at a few of these dumb questions and remembering some of the questions you may have heard yourself or may have ask just yesterday.

In news announcements every day there are murders or robberies...
Children are suing parents...
Parents are acting like children...
There is no respect for elders...

What’s this world coming too?

Far From It is a collection of humorous stories that are sure to fascinate and amuse anyone who reads them. Make yourself comfortable, open this book and let the fun begin...

The South, in by gone days, was a land of “red hills and Cotton”. Amos Moses Terry was a farm youth, back in those days, but he still has memories. Life moved at a much slower pace than it does today. Farmers don’t get in a hurry like urban folks, and back then, the south was ruled by farmers. Cotton was king.

Every land and every generation have their traditions. The traditions of the old South were: “Don’t beat around the bush”. “Get to the point”. “Don’t use any unnecessary words”. Old time Southerners were good at using clichés. Their vocabularies were limited and clichés helped to get their points across.

You will be pleasantly surprised at the common sense interpretations that Amos Moses Terry has given to some 70 of these clichés.
