May 31, 2005 -- "The Comb in the Urinal and other Perplexities of Life" is the second book written by Thomas Neviaser, MD, a retired orthopedic surgeon. It includes sixteen short stories
recounting charming yet insightful scenarios about inanimate objects that the author has come upon in his travels and what human circumstances occurred to leave them there.
A comb in a urinal was one of these events, and its sighting prompted the author to imagine how in the world it landed in such an unusual place. The other stories including such objects
as a mattress on the side of the road, a pair of shoes over a telephone line, a lost dog poster, and a shoe on an interstate highway just naturally seem to flow from this tale.
Each story has an unique twist to its ending, giving the reader an enticement to continue reading until the end of the book. The reader's outlook toward everyday sightings of these
objects in the book will be forever changed after reading these delightful stories, some of which are actually true.
Readers will enjoy the book for its ease of reading and interesting style; however, most of all, they will forever be intrigued and piqued by any unusually placed objects they see in the
future and soon will be stimulated to make up their own stories. This is the hope of the author, and so far, readers have reported doing just that.
