  • I have to tell you, I haven’t had anybody — I’ve done over 1300 cases in my court — as genuinely amusing as you.

About the author

Leland Carlson

Leland is the assistant vice president of the Dull Men’s Club (the club’s highest office). Leland and his good friend Grover Click formed the club when they both were living in New York. The club was a place for them to get away from the city’s hustle and bustle, glitz and glam, and instead enjoy ordinary, mundane, everyday things. They didn’t need to be 'in' and trendy; it was OK to be dull.

Leland is a semi-retired accountant. Now he only does either debits or credits, but never both. He leaves it to someone else to balance the books. He divides his time between England and America.
