Fun Stories For Your Drive To Work (Fun Stories Series Book 1)

Alright, alright, alright, you’re clicking like a boss now! We know your job’s a mess, your traffic stinks, and you didn’t win Powerball. Here’s a little help (that’s what Michael Scott said). This book is for anyone that enjoys humor and entertainment short reads, plus anyone that has ever said, “More cowbell!” Reviewers say this book is “fun, college type humor,” “a fun bunch of random ideas,” “very funny and on point,” and “laugh out loud funny.” Conversely, one person called it “silly, not that funny.” Your mileage may vary. Consult a doctor if your symptoms last more than four hours. No animals were harmed in the making of this description.

If you enjoy humor that is observational, absurdist, self-deprecating, sarcastic, and laced with wacky deconstruction and unpredictable rhythms, Fun Stories is for you. If you don’t enjoy offbeat humor, do not download this book, stop reading right now, and report directly to the Soup Nazi.

Thank you for not being one of those losers that stopped reading. Some of the authors and artists that inspire R. Scott Murphy’s work are Dave Barry, Jimmy Fallon, Gary Larson, David Sedaris, Judd Apatow, Tina Fey, Carl Hiaasen, and Jim Gaffigan. Click the audio sample located under the book’s cover and listen to “Chick-fil-A Makes Me Feel Like Leonardo DiCaprio.” The track hit #1 on iTunes Comedy and is a good yardstick for whether you will enjoy the Fun Stories series of eBooks, audiobooks and iTunes releases. Practice saying “my pleasure” after you listen.

Other popular chapters from this first book include “I’m the Freakin’ Michael Phelps of Googling,” “Shamelessly Suggestive City Names,” “Happy Friday (Mr. Pee Man),” “Mind Game of Thrones,” and “Ferris Bueller Time.” Many of the audio versions for these chapters have charted on iTunes. “I’m the Freakin’ Michael Phelps of Googling” is Murphy’s most recent iTunes #1 Comedy track.

Part storyteller, part game show host, part DJ, part madcap tour guide, R. Scott Murphy invites your participation through his interactive storytelling game called Mental Kickball. Murphy is an accomplished radio & TV personality, game show producer, author, and four-time winner of the “Late Show With David Letterman” Top Ten List Contest. He also won the Remi Award (script writing) in the film industry. Some reviewers say Murphy takes random fun to the next level. Nine out of 10 doctors say Murphy watches too much TV. There is no truth to the rumor that he tried to change his middle name to “Google.”
