Jack:

I have a collection of short Twain essays/stories. He was one funny guy. I particularly liked the one about becoming an editor of an agriculture publication--by a person who knew nothing about agriculture and the one about the homeowner who installed a burglary alarm. By the time he completed the project, he had nothing left--someone stole everything after he began the installation.

Thanks for the links. Wonder what Cider Jim, the University English professor, thinks of Twain? Twain may be too profane for CJ's taste though, what with those "asses" remarks on his score card and all.

Thanks to Stanhouse (the other #26) for that Twain gem.
