"Legendary travel writer and novelist Paul Theroux says this of Hawaii-based writer Charles Memminger's new book, "Hey, Waiter, There's An Umbrella In My Drink!": "When laughter erupts anywhere from Midway Island to South Point on the Hawaiian chain on any given day the cause is likely to be one of Memminger's columns."

A.J. Jacobs, editor-at-large of Esquire Magazine and author of "The Know It All" says: "Charles Memminger is a state treasure, as precious as the Hawaiian goose or the Yellow Hibiscus, but a lot funnier." And Wally Amos, "The Cookie Man," says "Charles Memminger is one of the few writers who can produce belly laughs while sharing useful and historic information. If you don't wet your pants laughing while reading this book, you're in a coma."

Published by Watermark Publishing in Honolulu, "Hey, Waiter, There's An Umbrella In My Drink!" is a collection of memorable columns and essays that reveal Memminger's warped and wonderful view of Hawaii, life and everything else. From missionaries gone wild on 19th century Maui to how to how to install a garage door using only a chainsaw to an historical look at exactly how paper umbrellas first ended up in people's cocktails, "Hey, Waiter, There's An Umbrella In My Drink!" takes readers on a delightful romp.
