I've been a casual fan of Jack Handey ever since I first heard "Deep Thoughts with Jack Handey" on the radio way back in what seems like ancient times. (For reference, Deep Thoughts debuted in the mid-80's.) While reading The Stench of Honolulu it took me a few chapters to get reacquainted with Handey's particular brand of dry, dead-pan humor, but once there, I was cracking up at practically every other line. My wife has an aunt who's zany and fun to be around, and while reading this book I realized her humor is very much Jack Handey-esque. At one point, I pictured it was she who wrote the book instead of Handey, and it helped me appreciate the both of them even more.
