Strangely enough, this is my gold standard for books by comedians these days.  Also, books by Roman emperors.<\/p>\n<p>This book is better than <em>How To Really Stink At Work<\/em> anyway.  The humor and musings are more aligned with Foxworthy&#8217;s humor.  Unfortunately, the book does stray into his personal life a bit too much for my taste.  I dunno, he talks about his courtship of his wife and whatnot, and I guess I like my humor a little more abstract.  When he&#8217;s talking about wives and women, I cringe a little to tie this to a specific person.  Maybe that&#8217;s just me or my taste towards the middle of 2011.<\/p>\n<p>So it&#8217;s an amusing enough book, but not pure enough comedy for me.<\/p>\n<p><center><b>Books mentioned in this review:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?t=stlbrianj-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=140130804X&#038;ref=tf_til&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=FFFFFF&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr\" style=\"width:120px;height:240px;\" scrolling=\"no\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is not the first Foxworthy book I&#8217;ve read; I read You Might Be A Redneck If&#8230; in 2006 and How to Really Stink at Work: A Guide to Making Yourself Fire-Proof While Having the Most Fun Possible last year.
