Samples from The Toilet Papers from Not Their Finest Hour March 1978, Arlow, in County Wicklow, Ireland: Owing to a striking lack of publicity for the annual Arklow Music Festival, only one choir showed up for the event. They came in second. It seems the judges felt the Dublin Welsh Male Voice Choir should be punished for arriving 45 minutes late.

From Shifts of Wit No question about Muhammed Ali's reputation as "the greatest." But on the downside, the mighty always have farther to fall. Shortly after defeating Sonny Liston for the heavyweight title, Ali boarded a Pan Am flight for London. Minutes before takeoff, a flight attendant reminded Ali to fasten his seatbelt." Superman don't need no seatbelt," said Ali. "Superman don't need no airplane, either," retorted the flight attendant. Ali did up his belt.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition blue green oblong boards with silver spine lettering contained in an as new condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Preface; Introduction; Appendix A: Steamboat Data/Log: A Table of Vessel Particulars; Appendix B: Fleeting Bygones: Other Steamboating Events Remembered; Appendix C: Wayward Steamboats: A Compendium of Prior or Later Histories of Island Steamers off Casco Bay; Bibliography; Acknowledgments; and Index. Profusely illustrated with black-and-white photographs. "The era of steamboating on Casco Bay began more than 170 years ago with the arrival of Captain Seward Porter's Kennebec at Portland. From that tentative experiment in pitting steam against sail, there eventually grew an extensive network of steamboat lines connecting the Casco Bay islands with the mainland and with one another. The names of these steamers evoke memories that may have faded but are not forgotten: Island Queen, Forest City, Forest Queen, Percy V., Merryconeag, Sebascodegan, Aucocisco, Maquoit, Machigonne, and Sabino, to mention only a few. No less distinctive were the sailors who manned them, including Captain "Jimmie" Long, Captain Charlie Morrill, Engineer Bill Cook and Purser Jud Webber. The steamboat companies' shore personnel, the year-round island residents, and the summer "rusticators" also played an integral part in Casco Bay's steamboat-era history. This book is about the region's people and the steamers that were once the lifeblood of Casco Bay. Steamboat Yesterdays is the first comprehensive and definitive account of the steamboat era in the Calendar Islands region. The author, Captain William J. Frappier, spent 25 years in researching this, the first of two projected volumes. He visited archives and museums; he interviewed the now elderly men and women who recalled vividly those long-gone days when the steamboat was as much a part of everyday life as the seas that surround the Casco Bay islands; and he located many unique photographs that had lain undisturbed for decades. The first century of steamboating on Casco Bay comes vibrantly to life in Captain Frappier's tribute to the steamers and people of the Casco Bay islands." - from the inner front jacket flap.
