Review

"I'm giving this book to everyone I know and asking them to give it to everyone they know, because Stilton Jarlsberg is the greatest living writer since Shakespeare. Come to think of it, that makes him the greatest living writer period, because Shakespeare is dead as a doornail and, face it, who ever understood what the hell he was writing about anyway? Not only is this book easy to read, but it also has pictures. I like that."        
-- Kenneth Bleucheese

Product Description

"Who Cut The Cheese?" is the original, hilarious parody of the business bestseller "Who Moved My Cheese?"

It is a parable in which four rats must find a way through a maze in their hunt for "Cheese." But this "Cheese" is actually symbolic of the things we all want out of life: success and self-confidence, a nice house, a loving marital relationship, perfect children, a loyal dog, indoor plumbing, good Chinese food, several million tax-free dollars, and red-hot sex with multiple partners.

The "Maze" in this story is symbolic of the twisting, turning, confusing, mugger-filled blind alleys of Your Life. And since you're being compared to a rat in this book, the whole "Maze" analogy works like a charm.

When you come to see the "Psycho-babble on the Wall," you can discover for yourself how to deal with change in the workplace, and how to find the Cheese that will make your life joyous and fulfilling.

Failing that, if you were forced by your boss to read "Who Moved My Cheese?" before getting a pay cut or a pink slip, "Who Cut The Cheese?" will at least give you the last laugh!

NOTE: "Who Cut the Cheese?" is a small gem - meaning that it's roughly 1400 pages shorter than "War and Peace," but roughly the same length as the teeny tiny original book (around 80 pages). That's why the price is low, but the "laughs per page" ratio is high!

5.0 out of 5 stars Caution! You Could Hurt Yourself Laughing!, November 21, 2000

I'm a big fan of office humor books (Dilbert is my patron saint) but nothing I've read until now prepared me for the relentless flurry of hilarious jokes in Dr. Jarlsberg's "Who Cut the Cheese?" If you're eating, you'll choke. If you're drinking coffee, you'll shoot it out your nose. If you're wearing good clothes, you'll wet yourself. If you're reading the book in church, you'll go to Hell. It's THAT funny! I experienced real pain at being forced to read the original (and distinctly UN-funny) "Who Moved My Cheese?" at work. Now I'm glad I did, if only to enhance my appreciation of this little hand grenade of a parody. I'm buying a handful to give as office gifts for the holidays (okay, so I'm cheap). Hint - there are jokes hidden everywhere in this book, so don't overlook the fine print. On the copyright page, in microtype, it says "printed on acid free paper because the stuff with acid burned our fingers." Hey, you've GOT to love a book like this!

4.0 out of 5 stars An Easy Shot, September 12, 2000

Someone had to do it. The legions of working people who have to put up with a boss or a HR manager who takes to heart the asinine and prosaic teachings of Ken Blanchard (One Minute Manager) and his ilk needed someone to write a book like this to verify that they have not gone mad and that some management books really have gotten dumbed-down to the point that "Who Moved My Cheese" can become a serious bestseller. This book is amusing, and it takes all of fifteen minutes to read, but it really deserves to be purchased; and then anonymously mailed to every clueless boss who thinks grown people should be treated like children.

5.0 out of 5 stars You think Deepak is deep? Hold on to your hats., September 21, 2000
By 
"mr_arch_stanton" (Santa Fe, New Mexico) - See all my reviews
Whoa! Don't be fooled by the "parody" label: this is a profound and expertly crafted book. The casual reader should not overlook the subtle hidden messages of this volume. I found that the themes and symbols of the work did not become clear until I had re-read the book several times, and purchased additional copies as gifts for my friends and acquaintances. The anagrams, palindromes, and crytograms scattered willy-milly throughout the text are worth the price of admission. Some of the wordplay is so obscure that James Joyce or Lewis Carroll would weep (with pleasure!). A truly great mind and potent personality is tantalizing us behind the nom de brilliance, "Stilton Jarlsberg." Expect great things from this volume...the author is truly a Master of Life.

More About the Author

Stilton Jarlsberg is a humorist, cartoonist, writer, and political commentator. He burst onto the national scene a dozen years ago as the author of "Who Cut the Cheese?" - a delicious parody of the business bestseller "Who Moved My Cheese?" by Spencer Johnson. "Who Cut the Cheese?" remains popular today with all of those who have either lost their jobs, are about to lose their jobs, or dislike the jobs they're hanging onto by their fingernails. Which, at this point, is pretty much everyone.

Jarlsberg is also the creator of two popular cartoon blogs: "Hope n' Change Cartoons" which features politically-incorrect conservative cartoons and commentary on topical news stories, and the completely non-political "Johnny Optimism" which features a wheelchair-bound boy and his faithful dog coping with the worst run of bad luck imaginable (the strip's motto is "What doesn't kill you makes you stranger."

"The Obama Sutra" is Jarlsberg's funniest political book yet, deftly mixing pointed humor and a thought-provoking thumbnail history of the "Hope and Change" years.
