Laughs and Giggles.To say this collection of essays is funny would be an understatement. Author Karl Wiggins has a truly unique perspective, and he's not afraid to share what's on his mind! You don't need to read this gem in any particular order; it's not a novel, but rather one man’s take on the things that irritate, annoy, or amuse him. He writes what we all want to say but usually don’t, for all sorts of reasons – like not wanting to get kicked out of the pub or punched in the face. Some of m...

This is one of those uniquely quirky books that manages to be about absolutely nothing—and absolutely everything—all at once. Like, how often do you sit around pondering why restaurants are so obsessed with slapping lettuce on every single sandwich? Maybe once? Maybe never? Well, that's just one of the earth-shattering mysteries that Karl Wiggins tackles head-on in *Laugh 'Til You Leak: Calico Jack's Garden of Giggles*.
But fair warning: you absolutely HAVE to bring your sense of humor along fo...

Hmm...a satisfactory light read. Nothing to rave about but if you need a quick fix of some humourous tales, grab a copy.

Just didn't enjoy it, 100 short sketches of his opinions, none of which were funny (to me). Fair play for writing a book, more than I'll ever do, but not for me thanks. Like a chavvy michael mcintyre perhaps.

this was not for me. a little too thickly British or something. lots of jokes about hooliganism and "the Tube". I don't really care for George Carlin either and I think maybe this guy is the British version.

Best not to read this book on the train if you have a full bladder because by the end of your journey you will have a damp patch in an embarrassing place. Fortunately I read this at home where my neighbour, hearing loud hoots of laughter coming from next door at midnight, is probably confident in his belief there is a certifiable loony next door.Some newspaper editor, somewhere, should pick up this book and offer the author a regular newspaper column, because this is the sort of ironic, no-holds...

Well, what can I say?I read the first half of this book thinking, ""Wow; this must be very therapeutic for the author! I do hope he's vented enough so that he now feels better!" Then I read the chapter on the agony uncle comments from genuine questions off the internet. I actually cried with laughter (this takes a lot!). Properly funny! I was laughing like a wild woman (sitting in my car in my lunch break), looking around in case my colleagues passed by and finally called the 'men in white coats...
