Thanks a Lot, Murphy! (plus Tales of a Lion equals an autobiography of the author)

I am. You are. He is. And so is She. We are all Murphies. We should all change our middle name to Murphy because, although we don't want to admit it, we are our own worst enemies. Murphy is our alter-ego. No one wants to admit that we suffer minor or severe pain due to our own stupidity. It is foresight versus hindsight that always has the inside post-position. But this is natural. As human beings we are not programmed to do everything step-by-step and in the exact right order.

Both parts of this collection narrate the autobiography of Chuck Morris through his adventures which include a fascinating trip to Hong Kong, stewed chicken heads, anecdotes, and tasty recipes from Louisiana.
