Shiner’s Return

Pg. 14:
It’s strange how everything is always funnier when you’re not allowed to laugh. It’s like in church when you’re sitting there watching a bee crawl up someone’s neck sitting in front of you. You know you shouldn’t laugh, but it always seems that much funnier just because it’s happening in church, and that’s the one place you’re not supposed to laugh.
