Toward the end of his career, he decided to compile these satirical definitions into a book,...

That's not exactly the way Plinke saw it.
His sometimes hysterical, sometimes poignant, sometimes acerbic take on the curious...

I'm very fair in my criticism, being equally disgusted with everyone and everything...
