Jest For Fun / I Hate to Gripe, But...

JEST FOR FUN: "Jest" when you thought it was safe, along comes the third in a series of parodies. "Jest for Fun" leaves you laughing with such thought-provoking essays as "Can This Marriage Behave?" And it pokes fun at everything from poor posture ("You'd swear my spine was surgically removed.") to the joy of cooking ("Non-stick, my rump.") to ditzy aerobics instructors ("She was a few reps short of a set."). If life drives you crazy, don't get mad, get a copy of "Jest for Fun." I HATE TO GRIPE, BUT...: From the lady who brought you a trio of "Jest" books comes "I Hate to Gripe But..." Four chapters serve a fresh set of beefs about every day annoyances. "Once Upon a Quality Time" peeks into family living. "Happy Holidaze" spotlights little-known-and-it's-just-as-well events on the calendar. Over two dozen personal flaws convene in "Having a Bad Halo Day." And "All in the Game Show" takes a skewered look at the rest of the world. Order "I Hate to Gripe But..." and laugh away life's irritations.
