Seventy-one hilarious short stories as experienced by the author. First seen in her nationally syndicated humor column, "Laverne's View." Stories include her struggle to get out of and back into a soaking wet, one-piece, industrial-strength bathing suit, and how a 50-plus friend had her breasts super-sized and became an exotic dancer. It's about how she dealt with her husband's retirement (not well), her battle with a box of persistent almond cookies, and her appalling experience with an uncooperative suppository. It's about how her electric scooter sent her flying over a curb, landing on her back with the scooter between her legs as a crowd of jaw-slackened bystanders stood frozen and speechless. It includes a story about her experience with an uncooperative suppository. The author admits that despite what her parents taught her, she enjoys talking to strangers, and eavesdropping. In fact, her most humorous, and memorable experiences have occurred as a result of those two reckless habits.
