Do you know the author's name? or the book title???

Question

This is a comedian, I think he's american but spends half the year in England....I’m trying to find a book he wrote about various stories. (comic stories)
One of them is about a frog that walks into a pub and spoils the joke because it spoke to the bartender….
Another one, about how it would be better for pubs in England to close later, and for arm stores in America to close earlier, cause you can’t find a pint after midnight in England, but you can buy a gun at 3 am in America… well there were other stories, these are just two of them in that book… sorry for being so… inexplicit!
I'm sorry, I don't even know the book title!

Answer 1

Is it Bill Bryson, Notes From A Small Island? I don't remember the frog story but he did write a bit about the absurdities of both countries.

Answer 2

If this is Bill Bryson - although I have my doubts - it would Notes from a Big Country rather than Notes from a Small Island. Notes from a Big Country is a collection of the columns he used to write for The Mail on Sunday so it contains a number of differents stories.

Answer 3

Sounds like Bill Bryson who wrote the best seller 'Notes from a small Island'
