5.0 out of 5 stars VERY VERY FUNNY, November 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: 501 Great Things About Being Gay (Paperback)

This guy's a riot. I saw a copy of this book in a bar and got my own copy at Borders. Even when I re-read sections I've already laughed at, I laugh again and so do my friends when I tell them. How about another 501 more Great things, mR. Taussig? signed, waiting in New Mexico
