Chewing Tobacco and Big Feet

Lisa Teasley may be a saint, but she ain’t perfect

In The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook, under the section titled “How To Escape From a Mountain Lion,” there is more advice: “Back away slowly.” The illustration looks pretty dire.

But you can’t back away.

Face it: How many geniuses are truly interested in you?

Face it: You are the kind of person who buys The Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook.

But you can admit this to Lisa Teasley. She will laugh. She will write. It’s okay.

It’s all, in the end, okay.
