Horsefeathers the Book

HORSEFEATHERS EXPLAINED: Other than the obvious namesake of this book, more importantly and contextually, it was a "Boomer's" expression of disbelief or skepticism- equivalent to the so-called "modern" version of "B/S." Otherwise, in a lesser, more tactful manner, the expression was merely a suggestion of one's disagreement, more subtly expressed as: "you don't say." However, in the spirit of this telling and consistent portrayals in both versions of Horsefeathers, a "Boomer's" response of "horsefeathers" was tantamount to a declaration of "nonsense."
Apologetically and admittedly so, many of the accounts included herein have been intentionally embellished to reflect the bias and an irrepressible sense of off-handed" sardonic whimsy of the author. And, providing that there are still some of us (Boomers) "... still above ground." The less jaded truth in favor of historical accuracy may yet need to be told- although possibly just better recalled in the memory of others.
Nevertheless, as many a "Boomers" can attest to, the assertion that much of what we experienced in our time was possibly not as facile as portrayed in this writing nor altogether necessary.
