Rating:  Summary: STOLEN DREAMS Review: I grew up with Mike in rural Michigan. We were both two young carefree lads exploring both the countryside and our emerging sexuality together. It was during the summer of 1952, cuddled up in my grandfathers old barn, that I first told Mike about the Internet and the humor that lied within. He promised me he would never tell anyone about our secret. And with that, he sealed his promise with a kiss. Mike not only stole my virginity that year, he stole my idea for The Best of Dot Com Humor.Today I am a broken man because of this. Alone, afraid to love, afraid to laugh.
Rating:  Summary: STOLEN DREAMS Review: I will never forget it. I was dumbfounded. There I stood in line at my local bookstore, holding in my hands a volume authored by the rather overestimated Greek poet Silius Italicus (clearly not the book for which I had come) when who should stride through the front door but a person wishing to return Michael L. Turnbull's THE BEST OF DOTCOM HUMOR. I was flummoxed. The very idea that someone, after having gotten his hands on such a rare gem, would want to return this comprehensive tome for a quantity so ephemeral as Store Credit was beyond my comprehension. As is typically the case in scenarios such as these, the man who didn't like Michael L. Turnbull's opus was exceedingly ugly. Hideous, in fact. I have made lengthy study of people who return Great Works, and my results are uncanny: the greater the genius behind the manuscript, the more unsightly the chap who failed to obtain satisfaction from it. It is rumored that the only person ever to have returned Mark Twain had three perfectly formed fingers protruding from his left collarbone. Well this fellow must have made that one look like Lorenzo Lamas. With his pest-ridden mop mashed down over asymmetric eyebrows, he aimed his cloudy pupils in disparate directions as he dragged his clubbed foot up to the counter. The woman next to me started to make gagging sounds when all of us got a view of his nostrils, which were grossly disproportionate in size. Meanwhile he wheeled around in my direction, came to a halt in front of me, parted his moist mouth, and exhaled, reminding me of the time in my life when I lived next door to a yeast factory. The old bird next to me dropped to the floor like a sack of canned hams, creating just the diversion I needed to pinch the book, race to the opposite end of the store, and purchase it at the alternate register. I can assure you that I have been laughing ever since. BUY THIS BOOK!

Rating:  Summary: One Very Funny Book Review: Michael L Turnbull's approach to humor and its value in our lives is second to none! This is a must have book for the young at heart who enjoy a good chuckle. I am sending it to all of my friends.
Rating:  Summary: Looking for the Perfect Gift? Review: Then grab a copy of "The Best of Dot Com Humor," the ideal present for friends, family or coworkers. We all have that friend or relative who has everything, and you never know what to buy them for birthdays and holidays. Well, trust me: This book is the answer. I first gave the "The Best of Dot Com" to my father, and pretty soon everyone in my family was passing it around and asking how they could get a copy. This hilarious collection of Internet-circulated humor is the perfect gift for everyone on your list this year. Even if they have e-mail and they've seen some of the jokes before, they haven't seen them like this. And they will have a ball reading this book aloud to friends, passing it around the office, and re-living the laughs. I highly recommend picking up "The Best of Dot Com Humor" not only for yourself, but for everyone you know who needs a good chuckle.
Rating:  Summary: ONLY THE BIBLE WAS BETTER Review: WHEN ONE THINKS OF GREAT LITERATURE, SOME MAY THINK SHAKESPEARE, WHILE OTHERS DREAM OF HEMINGWAY. HOWEVER, I THINK THAT MICHAEL L. TURNBULL'S ''THE BEST OF DOT COM HUMOR" TOWERS OVER THEM ALL. I FIRST RECEIVED A COPY OF MICHAEL'S BOOK WHILE SERVING TEN YEARS AT RIKER'S ISLAND FOR PETTY LARCENCY AND INDECENT EXPOSURE. I WOULD PASS THE TIME BETWEEN WEEKLY STABBINGS AND BRUTAL SHOWER ATTACKS BY LAUGHING MY HEAD OFF TO THE INSANITY THAT IS MICHAEL L. TURNBULL'S "THE BEST OF DOT COM HUMOR. DOES IT GET ANY BETTER? I SURE HOPE NOT, BECAUSE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING FUNNIER THAN MICHAEL L. TURNBULL'S "THE BEST OF DOT COM", MY BOWELS JUST COULDN'T TAKE IT.
