Tim “Smitty” Smith has always loved creating humorous ways of using words and phrases. Smitty says, “I love seeing other people laugh with me from something I said.”
Smitty decided why not share his humorous “play on words” with more than just friends and family. So, the Lexington native wrote a book of funny phrases entitled For a Pun Time Call Smitty
What is the story behind the title?
The title came from years of seeing writing on bathroom walls: “For a fun time call…” and a few times I was tempted to call the number to see what really would happen, even though I never did. Lol.

In your opinion, why is it so important for people to laugh?

What should readers and audiences expect from the book?
