Humorous 1 or 2-page essays from a young writer who was the editor of the Harvard Lampoon. Absurdist stuff, similar to Cruel Shoes by Steve Martin.

My brother gave me this book, which explains a lot. It's absurd and mostly very funny. I am a big fan of "a conversation at the adults' table as imagined at the kids' table," or whatever it is called. Very clever, takes about 8 seconds to read.

Nothing here really tickled me that much. Mostly page long jokes that ended a bit meh.
