latest read - $#*! My Dad Says

ABSOLUTELY super HILARIOUS!

I was literally laughing out loud while reading this book.


This book is a quick review of the "wisdom" the author's dad bestowed upon him throughout his life till now. 

Things like:

On My Bloody Nose
"What happened? Did somebody punch you in the face?!... The what? The air is dry? Do me a favor and tell people you got punched in the face."

On Telemarketer Phone Calls
"Hello? ... Fuck you."

On Furnishing Ones' Home
"Pick your furniture like you pick a wife; it should make you feel comfortable and look nice, but not so nice that if someone walks past it they want to steal it." 

On Airport Pickup Duties
"My flight lands at nine-thirty on Sunday. ... You want to watch what? What the fuck is Mad Men? I'm the mad man if you don't pick me the hell up."

Anyway, two things keep popping up in my mind while reading this book:
  • Some of the quotes are things I wish I could have said to some people.
  • With such harsh vulgarity, I wonder how Justin - the author - grew up to be normal... or is he?
