His CHOSEN WORDS Whose words are we referring to? Many great people spoke words of wisdom but none spoke the words of truth. In the courts of law when one is called to testify the clerk of the court will hold out a Bible and the person will place his or her hand on the Bible and say, what I am about to testify to is nothing but the truth so help me God. But my friends there are occasions where that is not so in the court of law. Well those words which you are about to enhance in your thoughts are spoken words of truth and wisdom. Come with me as we revealed who this person is, and why His Chosen Words were the truth above all other true words.

David Bouchier brings humor and insight to the quirks and puzzles of everyday life, from buying vitamin pills to reading poetry on the subways. These entertaining commentaries were first broadcast on public radio stations in Long Island and Connecticut, where Bouchier's quirky and clever humor has made him the most popular public radio personality in the region. Every week for the past twelve years Bouchier has plucked a topic from the chaos of ordinary life and subjected it to his special brand of ironic scrutiny. Nothing is too small or too vast to attract his attention: stuffed bears, NASCAR racing, reincarnation, the federal tax system, and shopping in Florida all find a place in this spirited and funny collection of astute observations and whimsical opinions. A Few Well Chosen Words is the third collection of Bouchier's public radio commentaries on his life as an immigrant in America. Readers will relish his fresh approach to subjects like time and memory, the rituals that carry us through the year, our obsession with health and fitness, the horrors of travel, and the many annoyances of modern life.
