Brief
Synopsis of Tongue-Tied With Stomach Knots (An Enlightened
Comedy)
In
a world wherein so much appears to be bizarre, insane, and beyond rational
explanation, Secret Agent Reginald Dipwipple knows the insider truth: the world
is incredibly incompetent. This is the world he operates in,
fighting the good fight against terrorists just trying to make a living through
mass intimidation. It is a world wherein words are weapons when
they contain too many syllables. A world wherein computers have
personality, geeks are cosmopolitan, and blondes are smart enough to deceive.
A world of acronyms utterly indecipherable to the uninitiated:
HUMINT, MASINT, GUTTER, USSR. A world wherein crises cause comedy.
And Dipwipple delivers. Join him at a spy school in rural Virginia where poachers encounter cute cuddly animals who shoot back. Dare to accompany him to Washington, D.C.’s fashionable neighborhood of Georgetown, to the high fashions of New York City, to the funky fashions of Greenwich Village, to the Italian fashions of Rome, to the frumpy fashions of American tourists. It is a journey intertwined with Biblical espionage, ancient Roman postal workers, prostitutes and politicians, Nazis and Communists, philosophers and phonies, comedy writers and other political appointees. From spies full of hot air (ballooning) to spies of the underworld, tunneling into East Berlin. From the sexy spies of the Civil War to the sexy spy planes of the Cold War, Dipwipple delivers. From the United Nations to divided states, from the science of humor to the art of the bad joke, Dipwipple delivers. From the great questions of theology to the questionable greatness of bureaucracy, Dipwipple delivers.
Dipwipple not only delivers, he takes it back. This is his story.

Dipwipple, Secret Agent Extraordinaire, claims not to exist. Even those who
know him say he's not much to look at. He has no known address, nor birthplace,
nor a Social Security number, nor any verified qualifications for his supposed
memoirs. Let's face it: he's a nobody. But he writes some great stuff,
including a brilliant blog at SecretComedy.com. The author also reports that tomorrow, August 1, for one day only, his e-book will be available for FREE for Kindle downloads — although even thereafter, it can be borrowed for free by Kindle users. Enjoy!
