Why tolerate ignorance? James Napoli, the executive vice president of the National Sarcasm Society, has provided an A-Z guide to turn to whenever you need to set someone straight. From advertisements to e-mail, from materialism to remote controls, there's a witty answer for every situation. “You have been waiting patiently for a dictionary like this to come along. And now it is here,” recognizes Napoli. “Not that you give a crap.”
James Napoli is a humorist and filmmaker and the author of several books, most recently the best-selling "The Official Dictionary of Sarcasm" and the self-help parody book "Shove it Upwards," by his motivational alter-ego, Mr. Paul Maul.
Mr. Napoli is a regular contributor to the Huffington Post and is also a performer, currently providing podcasts and videos via his evil twin Paul Maul, and a lively discussion of zen philosophy courtesy of the three titular inanimate objects in his web series "Rock Paper Scissors: A Dialogue."
James is currently rehearsing and preparing to premiere his evening of original spoken word stories with live music, "3 Stories High."
Mr. Napoli grew up in a family grocery business, and encourages everyone to reach into the back of the shelf for the item with the later expiration date.
