It is time to bring silliness back into this dark, dreary, and overly uptight world. Discovering a laugh catalyst is becoming increasingly difficult. Sure, we have multiple streaming services with payloads of content, but how many dystopian movies and gruesome murder investigations do we need to endure? Thirty years ago, late-night TV shows barely skimmed the surface of politics and instead focused on stupid pet tricks, offbeat skits, and hilarious guests. Today, it is all about politics!
Why do we need to be so darn serious?
John DiCocco saw the dark clouds forming over a dozen years ago when he began writing his book, “FU: A Novel of Foxton University,” which is soon due for self-publication and a September release date.
The book is funny. Trust me.
Here is a brief synopsis of FU:
It’s the world’s most potent aphrodisiac, and now everyone wants a piece.
Can dei is both the main crop and the religion of the isolated Amazonian Bahan Bahan people.
When a biology professor brings samples back to the Foxton University (FU) BioLab, Kizmi Enderby, his star PhD researcher, begins to experience unusual bouts of arousal.
Soon, all the researchers in the lab find themselves affected. Word leaks out, and multiple teams start scheming to corner the market on what could be an extraordinarily valuable resource.
Now it’s up to Enderby and her colleagues to outsmart a powerful business school dean, a multinational corporation, the Vatican, and the crazed dictator of the nation where can dei is grown, all while protecting the independence of the villagers and their sacred crop.
Stay tuned for information on John’s KICKSTARTER campaign. If you are chomping at the bit to hear more, send him a quick email, and he will get you up to speed.
Uninterrupted chuckling will surely ensue once you get your hands on a copy!
