Amusings

Amusings is the first volume of humor by writer Theo May. Here the reader will find tales (Humoresques) with which he has regaled friends and family, including The Belt Story, Confessions of a Basketball Timer, and The Littlest Jingle Bell. Also in the book are various things from his career as a mathematics teacher, including the infamous collection of failed interviews as well as vignettes (Disciplines) of students running amuck in his classes. These culminate in an account of being fired from a college teaching position due to moral turpitude. The volume closes with the moving memoir To Build a Fire.
