FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WHO SAID THAT DEATH IS NO LAUGHING MATTER?
TO THE CONTRARY, SAYS NEW, HILARIOUS E-BOOK DEATH …*
PHILADELPHIA — Death is a subject most people don’t want to deal with or even
think about, even though it is, as George Carlin noted, the most democratic thing in
the world: “Everybody gets one.”
As Carlin saw, the subject of death can be humorous – in fact,
approaching it with humor might just be the best way to handle it.
Enter Death … is just God’s way of letting you know She didn’t find you all that amusing – a
newly released e-book that looks at death and dying from all angles – all of them funny.
Author E. I. Weiner (whose You are so 20th Century also was published by Probasco Haus Press)
casts a sharp, cutting and extremely witty eye on death and its impact on our everyday world and
institutions. For example:
• Proposed epitaphs for celebrity tombstones: Like Jay Leno (“Chin Up”), Hugh Hefner (“Death
Be Not Prude”) and Bill Clinton (“Not Inhaling”).
• Today’s lineup on the Death Channel, including kids’ shows (“H.R. Puff ‘n’ Snuff”), sitcoms
(“Gork & Mindy”) and movies (“That’s Interment”).
• Total Fitness for the Dead, highlighted by the ultra-challenging Lying in Place and Pushdowns.
• Mr. Darkwell’s selections for the 10 Worst-Dressed Dead of All Time.
And much more.
Life may be a joke. But Death …* can be pretty funny, too.
Death …* can be ordered directly from the Probasco Haus Press website,

E. I. Weiner is a writer/editor whose work has appeared in The New York Times, TV Guide and many other
national magazines. He is the author or co-author of seven books. He is the Editorial Director of Probasco
