I have been reading Dad is Fat by Jim Gaffigan.  As you can tell from the title, it is a very solemn book that lacks humor.  Jim Gaffigan, the author, is a comedian most famous for his "Hot Pockets" bit and his high voice that is meant to imitate the audience's thoughts.  In his book, he tells of an awkward trip to the Grand Canyon with friends, talks about his children and wife, and the process of aging.

This is an amusing quote from the book that showcases Gaffigan's wit: "The phrase 'I have children' is always present tense.  They are always with me.  Even when I am by myself, I 'have children.'  When I travel I 'have children' who I feel guilty being away from.  If I'm in the bathroom enjoying some of Daddy's private time, I 'have children' who will knock on the bathroom door.  'Daddy, what are you doing in there?'  As if I'm being rude.  I 'have children' like I 'have male pattern baldness.'
