Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim, by David Sedaris. Thanks to Mr. Andrew for reminding me of this guy/lending me the book! Sedaris is quite an author; this is another of his collection of memoirs/essays/I'm not sure what to call them. Some of them are just funny and satirical; some of them are funny and satirical, and also make you stop, stare off into space, and think for a while as well. Very easy reading, and quite interesting; it'd probably make for a great book to take on a vacation, just in how it spurs new observations of everyday things.

minced oaths - some vaguely interesting lists near the bottom, peppered with trivia; I was kind of surpised somebody put 'feth' in there
