SynopsisIn this, his eighth and funniest collection, we meet many Pat McManuses--most unknown to man or beast. The first is Pat the PR executive, whose chief responsibility is to make two half-truths out of a whole truth. Then there's Pat the farmer, Pat the hunter, and even a blubbering Iron John McManus. Each voice is vigorous, providing laughter in the most unlikely places, indoors and out., McManus is usually the butt of his own jokes in this collection, starting with the title story--good samaritan Pat knows enough about the dangers of emergencies to take his time getting to one--and ending with "The Worry Box"--when one worry disappears, there's always another to replace it.
