In five vignettes that take place over the course of a day, Bob and Tom--a pair of not-too-bright, old-codger turkeys living on a small farm--encounter, discuss, and solve a series of ridiculous problems. What is the secret to buoyancy in the pond? "Suits that swim," of course: "Why do you think they're called swimming suits?" A fine addition to the literature of nitwittery.
