How the Widow Won the Deacon?

by William J. Lampton 

This tale may be found in many online stores and as it is short in many books with many other tales, but I chose to show a version you can find in “amazon” in a book called The Best American Humorous Short Stories.

(Is hard to find this tale by its own that’s why I decide to talk about a complete book with some other tales.)

The book seller described the book in general as a collection of good short stories, which is not wrong if all the stories are like this one, but something of the book which (for me) does not have any relation with the tale is the own title.

The title says the public that ALL of the stories in the book are humorous, not only Humorous but ones of the best of all, but for me the text was not Humorous.

The writer made this book in base of his own humour, which is not wrong, but he has to keep in mind that not everybody has the same humour, and as I can see his sense of humour is king of weird, but is a sense of humour the seller defends.

In my opinion if I buy this book and read this story I will be mad, because (again) if all the stories are like this one I’ll probably had lost my money.

Yes, the text is very good, a very good short story, as the seller describes it, but is not humorous, not as humorous as the seller describes it. This may put the seller in trouble (if I would buy it, he would be in trouble).
