Ryle Winn is the master of the cock and bull tale, and here at last is his collection of the funniest yarns he's ever spun. He's put a bit of everything in the book. There are jokes, where the focus is on the teller the life of the party. The short pub yarn, which is delivered to just one or two mates by a quiet bloke in the corner, with the focus on the scene, not the teller.
And then there's the fair dinkum yarn, which might take a long while to tell. This is a little gem that shines with quintessential Aussie humour it's full of the sort of classic, irreverent storytelling you hear too little of these days. This book doesn't care about political correctness or fashion; it just cares about what's going to make you snort beer out your nose.
