A humourist lawyer? Not an oxymoron here. With Poutine on the Orient Express, Marcel Strigberger (humorist in the U.S.A.- Canadians are obsessed with that extra "U", neighboUr ) takes you through an entertaining and trip about travel.

Have you ever naively tried to use reward points expecting to get a convenient free flight, taken a sightseeing tour with a guide who would rather be undergoing root canal, or spent ages at the airport arrival area watching that luggage carousel, with hope? Please read on.

Poutine covers it all, from airlines to trains, tipping and toilets. It also discusses the last letter of the alphabet, "zed" (in Canada eh?)

This book takes an irreverent look at travel topics you have no doubt wondered about such as:

-Caribbean cruises and why all the islands look alike—is there actually more than one island?

-When your right to return to the all-you-can-eat buffet legally ends;

-Luggage-packing theories and why rollers & folders are forever natural enemies;

-What makes a city?-why cities are proud of their historical disasters;

-Why famous European cathedrals took hundreds of years to build;

-Whether modern art is really art;

-Why Stonehenge doesn’t have a roof, and others.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Marcel Strigberger is a humourist trapped inside the body of a former litigation lawyer. A frequent contributor to national newspapers, radio and TV programs, Marcel is also the author of Birth, Death and Other Trivialities- A Humourous Philosophical Look at the Human Condition. Marcel worked his way through law school as a professional sightseeing tour guide in Montreal before hitting the circuit as a stand up comedian in Toronto, sharing the stage with the likes of Howie Mandel, Bob Saget and Jim Carrey. For years he combined his irreverent humour with law, resulting in a fresh, upbeat approach to the world of justice. .

And he is a lot more fun to read than Rene Descartes, Sir Isaac Newton or Jean Paul Sartre. (Well, maybe not Sir Isaac Newton).

" There are lots of books about travel, and lots of funny books, but not many funny books about travel. In this book Toronto wit Strigberger is working at the top of his game."
