Synopsis

A Grumpy Man's Guide to Suburbia provides a hilarious perspective on life in the 'burbs. These short essays offer an entertaining look at everyday happenings, like tag sales ("Why would anyone work for fifty hours to make $43.25?") or what not to say when your wife comes home from the hairdresser ("You paid $25 for THAT?") or how to carve a turkey ("Score: Turkey 1, Herb 0"). The author provides humorous commentary on everything from houseguests to neighbors, from barbecuing to shopping for a spouse, and from marital communications to cleaning out the freezer. If you live in the suburbs or are married this book is a must. "Poor Herb. he suffers so that the rest of us can laugh." - R.J. Marx "Full of truth! I send copies [of his columns] to my friends." - P. Haskell "It's not really Herb we end up laughing at - it's ourselves. There's wisdom in his wit!" -¬ K. Combs "Way to rant! Love the light-hearted approach/view!" - New York Press Association "I don't care how funny he is, he still doesn't pick up after himself." - T. Foster
