"After suffering a lifetime of jokes about his name, the lingering regrets of losing his first wife, and the haunting memories of a childhood prank gone tragically awry, Ham has little ambition other than to pay the rent, get home on time, and not to be too unhappy." "But his modest goals are thwarted by life's twists and turns. His girlfriend suddenly insists that the two are married and announces her desire to become a fringed-and-ginghamed country-western singer, despite having little musical talent. His boss begins courting a co-worker and Ham is left to handle all the tedious work. His brother's lies put Ham in the middle of a divorce fight. What's a poor schmuck to do?"--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description
You are Hamilton Ashe. Everyone calls you Ham. Everyone, except for your boss, who calls you Salami. And except for your girlfriend, who can't pronounce your name. The same girlfriend who tells everyone she's your wife. Even though you never asked her to marry you. Even though you never got a marriage license. Even though you never had a wedding ceremony. The same girlfriend who has decided to become a country-western singer. The same girlfriend who writes songs about a runaway dog. A runaway dog that returns, only its ear is missing. Why does she keep singing that song? Why does she keep singing that ridiculous song? Why? WHY? Maybe today will be a little bit less of a struggle. Maybe.
