"Ahmed told me they were expanding the museum so it could fit more tourists inside, but I think this will just encourage the museum people to put even more old boxes on display. It’s interesting to see that people had so much clutter even thousands of years ago. The only way to get rid of it all was to bury it, and then some archaeologist went and dug it all up. Humans."
"She gave me the jabs and said I was covered for every worst-case scenario, including being bitten by a dirty chimp. I told her this is why we have over-population problems. Why are idiots who annoy dirty chimps being protected?"

Everywhere we walked we got plenty of attention due to the camera and sound men. The locals love to get on camera. [...] I'd seen footage of Gandhi surrounded like this and always thought it was because he was very popular, but now I wonder if it was just because he had a camera crew with him. ― Karl Pilkington, An Idiot Abroad: The Travel Diaries of Karl Pilkington

So,
He’s kind of like Larry David without the rage issues.
In Chris Brauer’s diary-style non-fiction debut Life, in a Nutshell, the Creston school teacher rambles stream-of-consciousness about his life as a small-town Dad and school teacher. A sexual encounter with his wife is interrupted by cat vomit, he opines about misplaced apostrophes in shop signs, and stresses out about buying a new bathing suit. And though the world around him seems increasingly grim, he’s determined to focus on the lighter side of things.
“As I get older, I tend not to take myself too seriously. I take being a teacher and learning about the craft of writing seriously, but I never take myself seriously. I’ve never minded putting myself out there and being awkward,” Brauer told Literary Goon.
“With some parents holding their students back from school during COVID-19, and all the fear and anxiety around the American election, I wanted to offer a little break from that. To remind us that we’re all okay, even in the face of strange times, and to bring something light to the table. In the same way you crank 80s tunes when you’re cleaning the kitchen, I wanted this book to give people permission to dance in front of the mirror just to give yourself some relief.”
The book careens from one topic to the next, covering everything from Brauer’s childhood antics to his travels through Arabia and Ireland and his experiences at the front of the classroom. He describes his style as a mix between David Sedaris and Karl Pilkington, his persona a naive man-child. He doesn’t have much of a social life and tends to be a family-centred homebody, but he’s created a larger-than-life social media persona. It’s that spirit he’s channeled into Nutshell, which is named after a favourite Barenaked Ladies song. 
“When you’re writing non-fiction, it’s still a character you’re creating of yourself. I definitely paint myself as someone who bumbles through life, and sometimes that’s truth. I don’t tend to think things through, like the time I heaved a Christmas tree all the way home because I couldn’t be bothered to tie it down to the car,” he said.
“I don’t drive around and fix things. I’m not a farmer. I’m useless around the house, and my wife has more tools than I do. She’s the one who can fix things, while I definitely prefer to make dinner or drive the teenagers around.”
As a teacher, he’s exposed to a spectrum of people with different attitudes and worldviews. He’s become increasingly impatient with people who fixate on the negative elements of life, especially when there’s so much to laugh at.
“I feel like I’ve really started to see things in a funny way, whether I’m grocery shopping or teaching. I hope when people read this, they end up seeing the world as lighter than they did before. Some of the stories are just overheard conversations or jokes, while others are about things like the time when I almost killed my brother when I rolled a car tire down a steep driveway towards him,” he said.
“Some are meant to be laugh out loud funny, while some are just supposed to be loose and light little anecdotes that people can relate to. In Creston I don’t go out to the bar or know a lot of people, so this is my way of saying hello.”

Philosopher. Knob head. Karl Pilkington isn’t keen on travelling. Given the choice, he’ll go on holiday to Devon or Wales or, at a push, eat English food on a package holiday in Majorca. Which isn’t exactly Michael Palin, is it? So what happened when he was convinced by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant to go on an epic adventure to see the Seven Wonders of the World? Travel broadens the mind, right?  You’d think so... http://bit.ly/2Ez4clZ
