Buffoons in the Gene Pool

Richard Martin

Just who are the buffoons here? Reflected in bathroom and bedroom mirrors galore, you may recognize yourself or one of your selves or people you thought you knew, who are presently treading water in the gene pool. These 40 “stories” will send up narrative while simultaneously sending concentric guffaws up your periscope. Strip down to your birthday suit and dive right in; there’s no lifeguard on duty—ever.
