Knowledge for Men, July 21, 2008
This review is from: The Man Book (Paperback)
Otto DeFay spent years collecting data and suggestions for items to contain within this book and presents some great things that every man should know and if they don't then here is your quick reference guidebook. Included are:
Sports statistics covering every SuperBowl, World Series, NBA Finals, Stanley Cup, NASCAR finishers, Triple Crown Winners, Heavyweight Boxing champions, Tennis & Golf. Also includes MVP lists.
Playboy Playmates of the Year - all of them
Military Ranks covering Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines
Music - Greatest guitarists, best drummers, albums every guy should own, musicians who checked out early
American Serial Killers
Proper use of the F-bomb, how to call some an idiot, 1000 euphamisms and slang for male & female body parts as well as activities using them.
How to dress, proper wine selection, beer facts, Yo Mamma & Dumb Blonde jokes.
All this and much much more. It's pretty interesting and covers quite a bit. I could have went without such an extensive 1000 slang term lists but it's worth checking out and gives you quite a bit of quick reference material on sporting facts. Could possibly have been better organized but by breaking up the sports listings, you're not overwhelmed by the stats. Absolutely worth having just for the facts lists and you even get some jokes to share with your boss. Target audience is pretty straight forward... Men. Round this out with the Deadly Hippos
Man: The Book and you should have it covered.

Save your money, September 11, 2009
This review is from: The Man Book (Paperback)
only a couple laughs in the entire book. old jokes and 'other names' for things...things you've heard many times before a long time ago. get a cheap almanac for sports stats and visit a few funny web sites to cover the 'humorous' aspects of this book.

Not da bomb, just a bomb, January 9, 2012
This review is from: The Man Book (Paperback)
This book was a huge disappointment. The lists get old very quickly, and really don't contain much useful or humorous material. You'll only get enough entertainment for one trip to the bathroom. Instead of this rag, try something like "Badass: A Relentless Onslaught of the Toughest Warlords, Vikings, Samurai, Pirates, Gunfighters, and Military Commanders to Ever Live"
