Book by Bennett Joe

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Have you ever wondered why baths are designed to grip nicely when dry but become hip-shatteringly slippery when wet? Why cars parked outside massage parlours always contain dogs? How you can be as rich as Bill Gates? Joe Bennett explains it all in his collection of exquisitely crafted pieces which explore some of the important questions in life and invariably find the funny side. These are the hilarious observations of an Englishman abroad, celebrating the joys of bachelorhood and attacking the pretensions of those purveyors of frothy cappuccinos, therapy, consultant speak and idle pomposity in all its forms. Enjoy the company of an old-fashioned wit who shines a sharp, new light on the absurdity of life.
