Book Description

November 26, 2008

When I am King... this book will be required reading. Until then, consider it important background reading on future social policy. And an excellent beer coaster.

With life comes life's many critical problems, such as:

  • Why are wedding ceremonies so very long, often outlasting the marriages themselves?
  • Why are we forced to celebrate wedding anniversaries, inevitably leading to stress, forgetfullness, guilt, anger, recriminations, and alimony?
  • We're constantly making mistakes in life and have no one to blame but ourselves. Why can't we hire someone to take the blame?
  • Why are women's showers so packed with bottles and substances that there's no room left for the people?
  • Why aren't newborn babies clearly labeled with their sex to avoid awkward assumptions by strangers?
  • Why are newborn stats reported in weight and length, like fish?

Fortunately, this manifesto exists to deal with these and other pressing problems that we all face in work, relationships, parenting, eating, and life overall.

Book Description

Real problems require surreal solutions. This collection of essays explores life's problems from working to eating to relationships to parenting, and suggests solutions which, if not altogether sane, are at least funny. If we can't solve our problems, we can at least laugh at them. Or at ourselves. Or at others. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Author's Introduction December 27, 2008
Format:Paperback
Length: 0:59 Mins
This is more of an introduction than a review, since reviewing my own book would be tacky and completely beneath me. Unless I could get away with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Humor at it's best! January 20, 2009
Format:Paperback
Chet Haase is a cynic of the best kind! He appreciates the subtle idiosyncracies of life and is able to present them on paper. This is a perfect book to take with you for short bouts of entertainment during a busy schedule, or to keep in the water closet for those special moments.
I hope to see more from this guy!
(Yeah, OK, I'm his aunt, but even if I wasn't I would write this review. Really.)
