There was no profound knowledge gained from reading this book, but man, is that some amusing reading when you work with almost exclusively men. Sometimes, all you really need is a good chuckle.

I was a junior in high school when I received this book as a Christmas gift from a guy friend. My first reaction was, "WTF?", or whatever the popular euphemism was in 1997.

My bestie and I stayed up all night reading this aloud to each other, laughing our heads off.

I had forgotten all about that until this morning when I was reminded of this little gem...now I'm off to dig through boxes in my basement hoping I can unearth it for a re-read.

Audiobook read by John Ritter, fittingly. Felt like a book written by Jack Tripper. There is some truly hilarious stuff in here about stereotypical relationship dynamics, but there was also a LOT of misogynist and/or sexist stuff in here, too, obviously. As you could probably guess from the title. Mostly it's the literary equivalent of sitcom humor, more "heh" than "haha" with the occasional "ugh."

Dave Barry always makes me smile, and sometimes makes me laugh out loud. I feel safe with him, like he's my strange, funny uncle, whom I trust but who's just a little off.

I loved the diagrams and anecdotes in here. A lot of things definitely rang (scarily) true and made me think of my husband. However, I would be embarrassed to give this to my dad or some other "guys" to read - I know it's all in fun but it's definitely overly derogatory to men at points. It gets old after awhile; it's probably best to read it in snippets and not in one sitting.

I don't doubt that this was funny in 1995 when the jokes weren't so overplayed.
