My Funny Valentine

America’s Most Hilarious Writers Take on Love, Romance, and Other Complications

Valentine’s Day gets treated by some of the funniest writers in America: the people who win the humor contests, write syndicated columns, appear on comedy stages, create the jokes you hear on TV. A fun read and an open invitation to laugh at the joke that makes the world go around.

Some samples:

“I don’t need a special day to be awkward, uncomfortable and falsely selfless. That’s what dating was for.”
— Blythe Jewell

“This is not to imply that the only men who remember Valentine’s Day are philanderers. Some of them, for example, are only thinking about cheating.”
— Greg Podolski

“We lovingly refer to it as Valentine’s Day because ‘Sex for Chocolate Day’ was vetoed by the greeting card industry.”
— Leigh Anne Jasheway

”Valentine’s Day is about those five little words: Charge it to my Visa.”
— Jim Shea

“Clubbing a man over the head with a bat and dragging him into your love den has been interpreted as somehow criminal, by people who belong to fringe groups like the ‘police’ and the ‘courts.’ What in heaven’s name is a girl to do?!”
— Kate Heidel

“A ‘V-Jazzle Home Kit’ is not an appropriate Valentine’s Day gift for a woman of my substance – even though you steadfastly insist it was a joke.”
— BARB BEST

GRADY HARP, Hall of Fame Reviewer, says:
”One of those ‘must have’ books not only because it is terrific reading but also because it has a lot to say about contemporary relationships. Kudos to a crew of writers who are very in the know about love and relationships. This is a little treasure of a book with some of the most terse humor being written today!”
