Hey Waiter, There's An Umbrella In My Drink!

Welcome to Charleyworld. In Charleyworld, there are tourists with attitude, missionaries gone wild, crazy ants and bartenders who put foreign objects into your drink for no apparent reason. Hey Waiter, There’s an Umbrella In My Drink! draws the reader into author Charles Memminger’s world and reveals a warped and wonderful view of Hawai’i, life and everything else that will entertain visitors and residents alike.

Memminger’s “Honolulu Lite” column in the Honolulu Star Bulletin has twice been named the top humor column in the country for newspapers under 100,000 circulation. Legendary travel writer and novelist Paul Theroux says: “When laughter erupts anywhere from Midway Island to South Point on the Hawaiian chain on any given day the cause is likely to be one of Memminger’s columns.” A.J. Jacobs, editor-at-large of Esquire Magazine: “Charles Memminger is a state treasure, as precious as the Hawaiian goose or the Yellow Hibiscus, but a lot funnier.”
