I think one of the best books I’ve ever read was the Onions “Our Dumb World”.

What a hoot! And then some.

From what I’ve read the Onion has losts it’s way (gone woke) but the Bee stepped up to take their place.

In it's day, the Onion was great-they don't even hold a candle to The Bee anymore.

My absolute all-time-favorite Onion though, and brilliantly funny: Brain-Dead Teen, Only Capable Of Rolling Eyes And Texting, To Be Euthanized

(The girl's family doctor)
"We give her one painless injection, and that's it. Her eyes may flutter a bit, or, she may murmur "Are you for real killing me right now?" but then her struggle will finally be over."

or

(Her parents, talking about the decision to euthanize her)
"It's hard, but we know we're making the right decision. Her organs could help other children. We could give her eyes to someone who would actually use them to read a book. "
