#TrueStory We are in a thrift store, purchasing an item. Man behind us is buying a hardcover #StephenLeacock Treasury. I withdraw from my purse my paperback copy of Stephen Leacock's _Literary Lapses_ to show him. He nods and tells me Mr. Leacock was a noted economist.
This is a Canadian synchronicity. #CanLit

A Christmas story I wrote for my university paper in the late 1980s. It was a nod to Stephen Leacock's "Hoodoo McFiggin's Christmas".

@hneal It is hard for me to find De Vries.
Taking the liberty of hashtagging these so other aficionados of fine humour can find us 😆 📚
