Tales from Lard Lake Bill Stein

Join humorist Bill Stein as he recounts the tales of small-town life in the mythical town of "Lard Lake" located in the Northwoods Lake Country of Minnesota. Laugh out loud at the antics of Big Ernie, the local folks, and city slickers who inhabit the shores of "Lard Lake." "Tales from Lard Lake" is a collection of adventures from Stein's popular "Lard Lake" column published in the Aitkin Independent Age newspaper. As this is my first book, I don't have any reviews to post boasting of its merits. I despaired of ever getting a glowing report from the New York Times or even the West St. Paul Booster. Then it dawned on me: the Tales of Lard Lake are founded on lies and half-truths, so why not just make some stuff up?"My only regret is that I never declared 'Lard Lake' a National Park." Theodore Roosevelt"The thing I like about 'Lard Lake' is that there aren't many Polish jokes, I do like the Finlander ones though." Karol Wojtyla"That Bill Stein sure comes up with a lot of crazy stuff!" Ignatius of Antioch"Well, I never! Doesn't he know anything about political correctness?" Lucrecia Borgia "The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits." Albert Einstein"Always look on the bright side of life!" Eric Idle
