The great thing is how you read along laughing at them and then you find yourself thinking "That's wrong, you have to stack your pocket change by size, not by denomination!" ( ) •Do you refuse to take the top newspaper on a stack (even if perfect)? •Insist that the toilet paper hang "over"? •Wait for the phone to ring at least twice before answering? •Keep returning to the refrigerator hoping that something new to eat has materialized? Everyone has at least one oddity in his or her daily way of life. In this follow-up to her successful And I Thought I Was Crazy!, Judy Reiser offers up more outrageous, outlandish and downright ridiculous eccentricities exhibited (and confessed to) by otherwise normal people. From hilarious bathroom behavior, funny money routines, and unconventional clothing habits to eating and sleeping peculiarities, germ-a-phobia, and more. Reiser documents the zany traits that make us who we are. Just what extremes do people go to in their everyday activities? •Flipping through a magazine at a newsstand then reaching for a fresh copy to buy because the one they were flipping through is no longer new. •Enumerating (1, 2, 3...) while urinating and trying to end their peeing on an even number. •Eating the most expensive part of a meal first, just in case they can’t finish everything. •Ironing the newspaper before reading it to protect themselves against germs. •Wearing T-shirts an equal number of times so none of them will get offended. You will laugh while gaining insight into yourself and others! People do the darndest things! http://www.judyreiser.com
"Judy Reiser's concept of collecting the foibles of Everyman is not only unique, but genius. She invented the category. You will find yourself in her book, and when you do you will laugh out loud." "A hilarious collection of odd behaviors that are surprisingly endemic among humankind. Intended for mirth and amusement, yet at the same time absolutely true, Admit It, You're Crazy! and And I Thought I Was Crazy! cheerfully embrace the bizarre little mannerisms and habits that help us cope."
Judy Reiser gets people to confess to their most bizarre behavior. Judging by the success of her first book, And I Thought I Was Crazy!, it's a good thing she does! Admit It, You're Crazy! is the follow up book, chock full of outrageous, outlandish, and downright ridiculous things people do. Kids say the darndest things? Adults DO them!!! Author Judy Reiser offers up more hilarious eccentricities exhibited (and confessed to) by otherwise normal people. Everyone has at least one particular oddity in his or her daily way of life. The trick is to get them to admit to it. These side-splitting actions are categorized from hilarious bathroom behavior to funny money and clothing habits to eating and sleeping peculiarities to germ-a-phobia and more. Here are just a few examples of the extremes, dare we say rituals, we'll go through to perform everyday activities: * Flipping through a magazine at a newsstand then reaching for a fresh copy to buy because the one they were flipping through is no longer new. * Enumerating (1, 2, 3...) while urinating and trying to end their peeing on an even number. * Flossing between their toes with a pair of socks to remove sock fuzz at the end of the day. * Eating the most expensive part of a meal first, just in case they can't finish everything. * Ironing the newspaper before reading it to protect them self against germs. * Leaving sunglasses on top of the fridge so a midnight raid won't blind them by opening it. * Controlling shedding by vacuuming the cat. Collected from real, live, actual human beings, the zaniness begins again in Admit It, You're Crazy! No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
