Pocker's collection of essays reflects a life of sweeping interests and observations. From the decline and fall of the pay toilet, being a reincarnated whale hunter, how Oscar the Grouch got his name, how his dog, Mr. Peabody, was the only canine to ever receive a death notice in the New York Times, or his cross-country trip to the Alcan Highway in an attempt to drive to Alaska in a Ford Pinto. His stories illustrate how the best and the brightest can occasionally make hilarious mistakes and act like an idiot.
