In this collection of 60+ short humorous essays, Woodiwiss fearlessly takes on all comers, from himself to nosey neighbors to Pope John Paul II, affectionately known to Bob as the "The Deuce." Whether he's explaining why he doesn't fly a flag -- "the stripes make my house look fat" -- or his bed-and-breakfast social gaffes, Woodiwiss is sharp, smart, and Dorothy-Parker funny.
