Timber Rattlesnakes Live in Trees A Collection of Old Codger Humor Stories

Timber Rattlesnakes Live in Trees is a collection of sixty brief stories published in The Prairie Press, a rural Paris, Illinois, newspaper. Depending on the depth of one's sense of humor, these delightful narrations emit a combination of laughter, chuckles, grins, and smiles. The characters emerge from various professions in different settings, chiefly from the author's home region, but also from scattered other states, and as far distant as Australia. They're brought to life in schools, churches, sports events, workplaces, cars, ships, airplanes, homes, and on the farm. Some of these stories seem unbelievable, but all are based on real people or actual events. The author speaks the language of a good ol' country boy who sits in a coffee shop or some similar loafing place, and holds your undivided attention with one story after another. He claims that his readers should be awarded college credits. Each story has but one goal - to make you laugh.
