"I read this recently 'He deserves Paradise who makes his companions laugh' (the Qur'an). I guess it'll be a straight shot there for you!!" --Claudie Aguilar, Austin TX

"Defy Doom With Duct Tape is one of the funniest things I have read in a long time." --Gary Burke, Boulder CO

"You are absolutely amazing! I could never in a million years come up with some of the material you seem to have oozing from your veins with such ease and eloquence AND humor." --Lee Ambrose, Naples FL

"I smile, no, laugh at what you are doing, and hope to see a book in the future. A lady after my own heart... drawing humor from life around her ! Too bad more people can't smile at what life has to offer." --Deep in the Heart of Texas, Chuck (Joe) Fish, Cayuga TX

"'My Momma's Hands' is so poignant, Pamela! And so evocative. Through the piece I could see all the things your mother did for you. I especially love the beautiful last two paragraphs about your mother's hands being held by her father and mother, and about her magic hands waiting for you someday. Thank you for such a tender, poignant, personal, and beautiful offering." --Lisa Shirah-Hiers, Austin TX

Dear editors,

I know you aren't in control of what happens in the world, your state, city or community; you are simply in charge of reporting what has occurred. Wouldn't it be nice, if tucked in between the murders, the stock market woes and the search for weapons of mass destruction, you could put a smile on your reader's faces for a few moments?

That's where I come in.

Ta Da! Cue SuperHero music!

Oops, there isn't any such thing.

(note to self: write Super Hero Humor Columnist music as soon as possible)

Putting a price on making people happy isn’t an easy thing to do, but I’ve been forced to do so out of economic necessity. Honest, I’d do it for free, but my fellow free-lancers would burn me at the stake.

My column prices are very reasonable.

So, if you would like to add a touch of humor to your publication, please contact me via email for more information.

I look forward to hearing from you,

Sincerely (and smiling)

Pamela Troeppl
