How to Become a Christmas Classic…
[2:50:43 PM] Thilo Krueger says: Sitting with David Appleton and his family in the TELL in Siem Reap, and we’re talking about you while going through the pages of “Gary Dale gets off offensive”. We are laughing tears and giving our warmest regards !
TELL is his restaurant and the spelling / grammatical mistakes either has to do with his uncontrollable laughing or the fact that he’s drunk. Or both!
I have had mails from people who tell me they bought Gary Dale Gets Offensive only for the book cover but once reading it they thought it was absolutely hilarious. The fact is, good humor is good humor, whether it is from the South or wherever else. In this case, Thilo happens to be German and David is English and they are sitting in Cambodia.
I don’t look for the book to win any literary awards – only to make people laugh. But I have seen that virtually everyone who has purchased one of these books never loan it out. They keep it close to them for conversation starters. That is as long as they can keep it from their kids!
Anyway, as long as it reminds old friends of me who are far and way at Christmas time, I am happy…
