This book is funny, in that Leslie Nelson and the Naked Gun movie sorta way.  It is that literal humor(not sure if that is a true term) and plenty of sexual innuendos to last me for the rest of my life.  Reading this book about our not so smart private eye, Ralphy, made me think of many Mel Brooks' films.  It is the kind of humor that is sometimes past the point of being funny and is just plain silly.Sometimes, I found myself rolling my eyes at some of the attempts at humor; but there are some parts that really are laugh out loud funny. I still do not understand how Ralphy gets the "girl" so to speak, in as many ways, as he does.  I guess he is good at other things, besides being smart.  There are a few constants throughout these short stories: Ralphy is usually drunk or on his way there, Ralphy is usually getting ready to sleep with one lucky(or unlucky?) lady, and Ralphy has to rely on his friends to help him solve the cases.But the cases are pretty insane which helps add to the comedy.  All in all, it is a funny read and will give you something to laugh at, especially if you think your luck is not so great; just remember, it could always be worse.  You could be like Ralphy.  I have to give this 3 stars.
