Опити за пробутване на "мъдрост" примесена с "хумор" и неслучайно слагам в кавички двете думи. ( )

I love everything about this book -- from the way it's organized to the hysterical content to the unfolding relationship between father and son. I love the author's writing style, so casual and conversational.

If you need something lighthearted & easy to read in a couple if settings, this is your book! But keep in mind, it's filled with curse words. The charming old man was not edited, which makes the stories within that much funnier! ( )

Road trip audiobook!

But I only made it a little halfway before arriving home . . . so then it became . . .

Grocery store audiobook!

This was a pleasant diversion on the drive and while I waited for COVID and flu shots at HyVee and did my weekly shopping.

Justin Halpern's dad says funny things. Sometimes they're just strung out like the Twitter feed from which they originated, sometimes they're fleshed out into a four- to eight-page story that digs a little deeper into the author's life.

Short and funny.

And it reminds me of one of the funniest things I heard a dad say. During college, the father of my roommate, Jeff, had just met his girlfriend and at the first opportunity he had to take his son aside he said, "Jeff, Eleanor is a great girl. The kind I want you to marry . . . but not now." ( )

This was a very quick read; I read it in one sitting. It was laugh-out-loud funny. Great book. ( )

OK. Funny in parts but didn't have me laughing out loud. ( )

First words
"All I ask is that you pick up your shit so you don't leave your bedroom looking like it was used for a gang bang. Also, sorry that your girlfriend dumped you."

When I was twenty-eight years old, I lived in Los Angeles and was in the third year of a long-distance relationship with my girlfriend, who lived in San Diego. Most Fridays I'd sit in traffic for three and a half hours as my 1999 Ford Ranger crawled 126 miles down the I-5 to San Diego. Every once in a while my car would decide to shut off its engine. Meanwhile, its radio was busted, so I only got one station, whose playlist seemed limited to songs from the burgeoning rapper Flo Rida. There's nothing like merging onto a freeway only to have your engine stop, steering wheel lock, and a deejay scream, "And here's MY MAN, Flo Rida, with his new hit 'Right Round'! Let's get this party started!"

Quotations

"Do people your age know how to comb their hair? It looks like two squirrels crawled on their heads and started fucking."

"The worst thing you can be is a liar. . . . Okay, fine, yes, the worst thing you can be is a Nazi, but then number two is liar. Nazi one, liar two."
