Embarassments and misadventure from such luminaries as Bill Bryson, Anne Lamott, Dave Barry, Douglas Adams, JP Donleavy... but my favorites have to be David Sedaris describing the "Rabbit of Easter" to a Moroccan student in French class, Donald Katz interviewing the king of the "ferret-leggers", and Randy Wayne White taking a jumping frog on a cross-country train trip to Sedona, Arizona.
