For some reason, Amazon deleted my former review of my book. My only point in that last review is that I wrote it, so I know a lot about it. I guess they have high standards for their reviews, which is why the reviews for The Family Circus, Tuscan Whole Milk, 1 Gallon, 128 fl oz and The Story about Ping (Reading Railroad Books) remain while mine gets deleted. So let's try a different tack:

This book blows goats. I hated every second of writing it, and I hate that you want to read it. I hope you don't. If you do, you'll grow warts. Your parents will hate you and your first born child will be called Matilda even if you name it something else. Every porn you ever download from now on will have the money shot deleted, and babies will cry in every theater you ever visit.

In short, I will never write this book again, it was that bad.

Joe's book is just..awesome. Weird stuff happens, and he has this excellent writing style that makes you feel like he's just another friend sharing a beer and a good time. I'm not just saying that because I have shared a beer and a good time with him, I'm saying it because it's true. Joe's style is uniquely "guy next door" without being "creepy guy next door who stalks me."

A good laugh, and a bit of sympathy for the poor guy are in store for anyone who reads this book.

I read this book on a whim just because the title, Mentally Incontinent, aptly describes me. Only Joe has much much better stories. And is a master storyteller. Not only does weird, crazy things happen to him, but the way he retaliates is humorous (the Wal-Mart story). All the stories are funny, but I think the one about Hooters definitely takes the cake. The book itself is short, so I encourage everyone to read it and laugh out loud.

stories that could only happen to a teenage/early twenties guy with good intentions & temporarily bad judgement. so of course it's hilarious.

I read this book in one sitting in between a crazy jumping/barking/fetching/chewing large breed dog and a wild two year old.. trying to clean my house and prepare dinner. It was that good. Thanks for pulling me in, Joe. Can't wait for the next book.

I know Joe from working on the Internet. I had heard about his grass roots publishing enterprise and picked up his book without having read his website. I am glad I did. Joe wants to entertain you with his life anecdotes and in the process he does something even the most seasoned writers cannot; he completely throws out his inhibitions just so we can laugh and be entertained.

i have been reading joe peacocks website for 2 years or so, so i was excited for this book. it was a good read, although a little short

Mentally incontinent is very amusing and fresh. I found myself getting very involved in the antics of this young man and I cannot wait for the next book.

Joe has a great writing style that makes you feel as though you're in the same room having a cup of coffee with him while he is telling you his stories. And these are some great stories to hear, although you might want to skip the coffee because there are quite a few moments where you might actually spit it out from laughing.

Wanting to support a fellow Farker I purchased Joe's book. Honestly, I didn't know what to expect. If it stunk, well, I could burn it during the Winter to heat the house.

What I found was that Mentally Incontinent was my guilty pleasure. I laughed, I cried, and I may have fapped furiously. Great work Joe - I hope to see another book in the future!
