Laurie Notaro has an uncanny ability to attract insanity–and leave readers doubled over with laughter. In **The Idiot Girl and the Flaming Tantrum of Death**, she experiences the popular phenomenon of laser hair removal (because at least one of her chins should be stubble-free); bemoans the scourge of the Open Mouth Coughers on America’s airplanes; welcomes the newest ex-con (yay, a sex offender!) to her neighborhood; and watches, against her own better judgment, every *Discovery Health Channel *special on parasites and tapeworms that has ever aired–resulting in an overwhelming fear that a worm the size of a python will soon come a-knocking on her back door.
