William Kennedy "Eggs"
This short story actually had to be one of the funniest essays I have ever read. I read it in class in the computer lab on Friday and started laughing out loud, which resulted in me receiving more than one strange look and a death glare from Bridget. The point where he says "A retarded orangutan could write a better story than "Eggs" actually put me over the top and that has to be up there in the top 3 funniest lines anyone has ever written. I thoroughly enjoyed his style of humor and style of writing because I could relate to him very easily. His sense of humor is pretty much the same as mine so when someone says retarded orangutan I instantly will bellow with laughter. His dialogue with his dad was also hilarious and probably very true for some people out there when they just write a terrible story. I know my dad has said something along those lines to me before! I applaud you, William Kennedy, for writing one of the most ethereal and dynamically appealing short essays known to mankind! Until I find that retarded orangutan I am so desperately searching for, I will have to stick to just reading about how terrible of writers they are.
