An Extra What?
By Freda Gower Ward 

     It doesn't take much to get Freda Gower Ward going. Sometimes I'm not entirely sure of her destination; but one thing I do know, it will make me laugh.

     In one of her newest books, An Extra What?, the spark that set her off was extra virgin olive oil. Now you might ask, "What the heck is so funny about extra virgin olive oil?" My answer would have been, "Nothing." However, Freda changed my mind. Believe me; extra virgin olive oil is funnier than you think.

     Freda has found a correlation between, (okay, I won't say it again. You know what I mean) "it" and many other things. For instance, did you know that "it" can be used to create the perfect food? Or provide the answer to wrinkles? Or to count fish?

     I'll bet you'd be surprised to find that Freda can connect "it" to diets, hair, mosquitoes, and the pyramids. I won't try to explain "how" she does it. I'll just let her do it.

     My advice? Buy the book. In fact, buy all of Freda's books. They're funny, touching, and most of all, they provide a way to reassure yourself that there really is someone out there who is much more unhinged than you are!
