<div>If you think you know what's the worst than can happen while traveling, the essayists in <i>Not So Funny When it Happened</i> will set you straight. In over 30 scathingly funny pieces, a diverse array of authors shows just how quickly a pleasant vacation can turn into an embarrassing anecdote. In Vietnam, John Wood invents increasingly elaborate fictions to explain his ex-wife's "accidental death" in order to avoid humiliating himself by admitting he's divorced. Australian traveler Jayce White awakens in Zimbabwe to a baboon at his breakfast table helping himself to leftovers with primal flair. Collected in <i>Not So Funny When it Happened,</i> these stories and more show that when traveling, even the best of plans fall by the wayside.</div>
