HA! (Humanity's Absurdities) - From the mind of a retired harpsichord psychologist, this book touches upon the meaning of life in much the same way that a misplaced moist towelette does not. HA! is a sardonic parody, rife with irony, satire, and lampoons of every-day drivel-laden gibberish. Complete with a glossary of insightful and meaningless original vernacular, this volume will exercise your mind and keep you laughing, grinning, or smirkingly amused as you try to discern fiction from fabrication or mere falsehood.

HA! (Humanity's Absurdities) - From the mind of a retired harpsichord psychologist, this book touches upon the meaning of life in much the same way that a misplaced moist towelette does not. HA! is a sardonic parody, rife with irony, satire, and lampoons of every-day drivel-laden gibberish. Complete with a glossary of insightful and meaningless original vernacular, this volume will exercise your mind and keep you laughing, grinning, or smirkingly amused as you try to discern fiction from fabrication or mere falsehood. Replete with yasplarian and spongnacious content that may be ambiguous, biguous, or even tribiguous, but almost never factual. In this stunning debut entry into the humor genre, Dr. Remo Perini, Poet, Scientist, Harpischord Psychologist, and winner of the rarely celebrated Insignificance Award for Unknown Literature, dives into an elaborate portrayal of Humanity's Absurdities which is abbreviated HA! As an author who aspires to become fictional, Perini looks at the world from an oblique angle and serves up ten mind-widening chapters of gibberish, drivel, and insanity that demonstrate respect for but complete misunderstanding of History, Writing, the Arts, Sports, Science and Medicine. The range of topics is further extended with the inclusion of periodical sections such as Missed Connections, For Rent, Employment, For Sale, and Entertainment that includes a crossword puzzle based on newly introduced jargon. Given that the majority of the content is drivel, Perini presents a Drivelometer to measure drivel content based on minimizing facts. With two co-authors who coincidentally have the same nickname, Tweebs, we learn that those contributors are sock puppets, one a right-foot white athletic sock, the other a left foot black dress sock. Despite these differences, both Tweebs' believe in their right to shoes. The book's preface (which follows the templicative dedication, a taperstrian foreword, drivelword, apologies, a frontword, acknowledgements, and an early about the author) provides a history of humor and explains in the subsequent prolog, that the backstory for this book is the original formation of the universe. With ten chapters, Perini covers a lot of ground, including in Science and Medicine, the Inter-Steve Bypass that allows two people named Steve to share brains, and a description of the many Acts of Kindness that people can perform to make the world a better place, such as Mow your neighbor's lawn immediately after they finish mowing their lawn, or, stand at the end of a salad buffet and ask each customer, "Would you care for some fresh parsley?" HA! is a book that will be equally enjoyed by both intellectuals and the institutionalized with stories that can be read over and over, each time with continued appreciation for the art and unlimited humor of unrestrained drivel.

Autorenporträt
Poet, humorist, children's book, and adult non-fiction author Remo Perini has released his debut book of humor, HA! (Humanity's Absurdities). According to readers and reviewers, HA! (Humanity's Absurdities). "HA! is one of the funniest books I have ever read", "HA! has only one purpose, to make a reader laugh," "HA! Is the best edutainment money can buy," "The author's imagination is extremely wild and fertile," "An all-round fantastic book and an ideal gag gift for any occasion," "A fictional encyclopedia of absolutely ridiculous nonsense with no intent whatsoever except to make a reader laugh, chuckle, smirk, and hopefully roll on the floor laughing (ROTFL)." Most of the material in HA! is a complete fabrication based on hot air and warping reality. "The author finds a new way of looking at and discussing something that you've seen a thousand times before, providing an offbeat and bizarre way of describing the familiar." "Perini looks at the world in a unique manner, sharing nonsensical anecdotes with a straight face and strait-laced anecdotes with a generous seasoning of silliness." "HA! Is a great book for much-needed relief from an all too serious world with comedy that is as wacky as it is observant, as nonsensical as it is grounded, and as outlandish as it is witty."Remo Perini has a doctorate in information technology and has developed patent applications for several of his ideas. Dr. Perini does not use the "Dr." superlative, but he does wield a mighty poetic license that grants him the right to make up words and ignore the rules of grammar. As a technologist, he is in the process of changing the way we do everything in life with current efforts on: revolutionizing the commercial aviation industry with his Commercial Airvolution Concepts, working with chemists so that the joy of eating, or ingestion, can be separated from the caloric intake of digestion (Ingestolution), and developing psychophysiological technology to change the way we authenticate information systems users in a manner that gets rid of passwords (these may be true, or not true, or even completely made up). Currently living in Vienna, Virginia, and with prior stints in Long Island, New York, San Jose, California, and Highlands Ranch, Colorado, Remo lives with his ten-year-old poodle named Enzo and has two amazing sons who aspire to playing video and virtual reality games for their whole lives while eating cake. Remo aspirations are simpler. He just wants to become the Bard of Vienna, or the Bard of anyplace looking for a Bard.
