Paperback. Condition: New. Fans of Dumb and Dumber and Forrest Gump will love this "hilarious" book. (Screencraft)"A hilarious and quick read. If you're a fan of absurdist humor this is the book for you." -Tyson Harvey, Amazon reviewer They're not exactly the A-Team.Benjamin was never the sharpest tool in the shed. For as long as he can remember, he's longed for adventure in far away lands. But every day he wakes up in the same boring suburb, where nothing ever happens. He rides his bike, reads Soldier of Fortune magazine with his best friend Jim, and wastes time working a dead end job at the local convenience store.But when a phone scam from Somali grifters puts dollar signs in Ben-jamin's eyes, he and Jim hatch a hare-brained scheme. Ditching their daily grind and jetting off to the coast of Africa, Benjamin and Jim plot to convince the locals they are highly trained Navy Seals and demand the Somali pirates turn over their treasure.It's not a great plan. In fact, it might just get them killed.But through a combination of crazy coincidences, inept schemes, and plain dumb luck, these dim-witted dreamers are determined to get rich, or die trying. Can these two soldiers of misfortune pull off the ultimate con?"The lunacy made me laugh out loud and the energetic plot kept me eagerly anticipating what craziness would happen next." -Mr. B, Amazon reviewer"I loved this book so much! What a fun (and quick!) read!! Rarely do I laugh OUT LOUD reading a novel. But this one had me in stitches." -Amazon reviewer"I'm not that much a fan of Dumb and Dumber and the ilk, but I have to admit I found myself laughing out loud at the antics of Jim and Jam! Call it what you will-absurd, slapstick, or potty humor-it does reel you in." -Shari Held, Amazon reviewer. Seller Inventory # LU-9781933769745
