With the grumpy father that I have in my life I thought that it was very logical that I should read this book.
You know when you read the right book at just the right time? This was that book at this time for me. I need a laugh and to feel tied to family and this book was perfect.
So many funny stories, not for the faint of heart re: the language, mind you. I kind of like that though. My dad is a truck driver and I have four much older brothers. Off colour language has never been a problem for me. ( )

"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!"

"It's just, I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it," he said, looking up from his paper again and shaking his head. "I mean, they gave you money to do this. YOU. Amazing."
