Weston Locher writes humor because his parents made the mistake of telling him that he was funny. This is further proof of why you shouldn’t lie to your children.
Background
Information
Weston Locher is an Ohio native who escaped the state because he was tired of being cold and wet in the winter and overheated in the summer. Mostly, he left because his parents refused to believe in the concept of air conditioning. Being the sum of a journalist father and an English teacher mother he was doomed to a life of writing before he was able to consciously make the decision for himself.
His style is described as a combination of humor columnist Dave Barry and author David Sedaris.
