Urgent Care

About the Book

Sometimes, life can get boring and you have to look a little harder to be entertained. Perhaps working in a candy-filled dungeon-like wharehouse, attending a NASCAR race in the pouring rain or even melting action figures and setting fire to a public park is where you might find some sought after fun. In an unforgiving search for laughs, Urgent Care details how one Iowan found these events, as well as snowblowing his elderly neighbor's driveway, discussing Hitler with his five year-old daughter and having drinks with a rodeo cowgirl can be both exciting and humorous ways to pass the time. After reading the author's essays of coffee addiction, his early fascination with Wheel of Fortune and adventures in returning Christmas gifts to J.C. Penney, you may also be in need of some Urgent Care.

About the Author
