I want my ears back! What's next, my nose? When you call someone and they put you "on hold," they are in control of you. Maybe it's because I was raised in "the land of the free" that this irks everything irkable in me. Would you allow a clerk in a store to grab you by the ears as soon as you walked in and hold you in place until they were ready to talk to you? While they talked to someone else? At the very least, that might be temporary involuntary imprisonment, or some kind of mild kidnapping. I think you could almost go to jail for that. Why then, do we allow, indeed, make it legal, on the phone? As angry as I got, I couldn't continue yelling at innocent furniture while I was "on hold." I'm sure it's bad for me, and it can't be good for my furniture. In an effort to turn my aggravating conundrum into something possibly positive, I conducted, and funded with loose change, an independent experimental stress- release study. When I was put "on hold," I would write. Whatever came to mind. Just let my head roam range-free. Short stories that I might come back to, quick thoughts, poems, blurps, ideas, frustrations -- whatever popped into my head was in-bounds. My phone and my computer would become my laboratory. My pants would remain my pants. Therefore, this book is a diary, if you will, of my time spent "on hold" during Phase One of my amateur mental-health experiment, designed to turn frustrating hostility into an unfettered, rumpled voice. A little taste of ON HOLD It was 892 and everyone was playing "Smack The Lout" invented by Dylan Puddler. "Tag, Your It" was his. So was "Ring Around The Rosey." His unsuccessful efforts include "Lick the Oaf and Make Him Cry," Hide The Fish" and "No, You Kiss It."

I purchased this book because I have been a fan of Bruce Baum for many years. Baby Man, Dimples the Cow, and his other characters suited my sense of humor. As I thumbed through "On Hold" I found myself seeing Baum in my head talking to me as I read about what had been going through his head and his wandering mind while he was on hold. I also found myself thinking about was went through my mind while on hold! Bruce Baum's comments and writings not only make you laugh, but also make you "Think." I knew there was a reason I was a fan of Bruce Baum, and "On Hold" is exactly why. I recommend this book for anyone who is looking for light reading to put a smile on your face, my only complaint is that I read it too quickly.Product details

On Hold Bruce Baum 9781453662670 Books Reviews
I can't believe two people gave this book 5 stars (must be very close family members). I got suckerd into buying this effort because Baby Man did a nice job teaming up with Barry Marder as "Ted L. Nancy" on the first three Letters From a Nut books. But "On Hold" is terrible and not funny. Save your money!
