5.0 out of 5 stars Great Quotes and fun to read, October 29, 2007

By	Edgecrusher74 (NJ USA) - See all my reviews

This book was a lot of fun to read. I found that some of the qoutes in the book are useful for your own friends. It's not a serious book in anyway. It's just a good time and will make you laugh.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious, June 29, 2008

Although a quick read, this book is still hilarious for anyone who's enjoyed the team locker room environment, and especially so for hockey players. Great for the coffee table.
