Things a Man Should Never Do Past 30 (Esquire Books (Hearst)) [Paperback]

David Katz (Author)

Book Description

Series: Esquire Books (Hearst) | Publication Date: October 1, 2005

A wickedly humorous look at this many rite of passage.

There are certain times in a guy's life when everything changes--and turning 30 is a huge milestone. No more excuses: you are, or should be, a full-fledged adult. To make things a little smoother on this momentous occasion, Esquire lets you know exactly what a man should no longer be doing. Just in case you can't figure it out for yourself. Here are just a few of the never-to-be-forgotten, wildly funny rules about the old habits you simply have to leave behind:

See any movie with elves, mutants, wookies, or other non-human characters on opening night

Figure out which dirty words are spelled by phone number.

High five in a business situation

Travel to attend a Phish concert

Have any furniture that involves cinder blocks

Google ex-girlfriends

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Esquire is special because it's a magazine for men. Not a fashion magazine for men, not a health magazine for men, not a money magazine for men. It is not any of these things; it is all of them. It is, and has been for nearly seventy years, a magazine about the interests, the curiosity, the passions, of men." David Granger - Editor in Chief."

NO BETTER AND EASIER GIFT TO GIVE YOUR BUD WHO IS TURNING 30. I BOUGHT A STACK OF THEM AND JUST HAND OUT WHEN A BUDDY TURNS 30, AND EASH IS LIKE 10 BUCKS. NO BRAINER AND TASTEFUL.

Almost every guy I know over the age of 30 does 80 percent of these things! Very insightful Esquire. A lot of fun and a great gift...

(PS: To the above, If you don't get that it's a HUMOR book, maybe the lack of dairy is starting to affect your brain...)

Now I know a few things I have to do in the next year!! This tiny book is funny and witty, and a pleasure to read. If you can get it via low-priced used book sellers I do recommend it.

Enjoy,
Dave
