3. "It's Commerce That Brought Us Together"
I liked that this was just observations of a thing, not really a story with a plot. It was funny, and managed to describe a lot about what type of person the narrator is, and the kind of town she lived in.


7. "Up Where the Air is Clear"

Another one I liked because it was funny. It was a definite story with a beginning, middle, and end, but used characters everyone knew instead of creating its own. The premise was ridiculous, but the Penguin and Mary Poppins acted in ways true to their characters.

17. "You Can't Choose Your Gift"

This came across as just a funny little tidbit someone would say at a party, which is where the speaker said he made his swamp noise the most. He laughed at himself, which made me like him more. It felt less pretentious than the guy making scallop noises.
