This story takes Melville’s "Bartleby the Scrivener" and mashes it up with high school football to make a looney story of a player getting on the coach’s last nerve. If you played high school football (or any sport) you will love this story. This audiobook is dedicated to my football coaches. Especially the one who I’ve contributed to their bald spots and chewed me out when I had it comin’.

The movie “Little Big Man,” impressed me a lot. I love it. But it got me to thinking of all the wonderful roles Dustin Hoffman brought to life on the big screen, and as I was going through all of those roles, from Ben Braddock in “The Graduate,” to Ratso Rizzo in “Midnight Cowboy” and Louis Dega in “Papillon,” and Michael Dorsey in “Tootsie,” that I could combine all of those roles into one film. So an already silly story became even sillier. I even worked in a portion of “Rain Man.” I hope you will get as much pleasure reading it as I had in writing it.
