Description

Move over, Miss Manners. Step aside, Emily Post. It’s time for a truly modern book (“How To Make Love to a Laptopper”) on proper behaviour at work (“Walk fast and carry a piece of paper”) and at play (“Riding a Bicicyle Without Being a Geek”). Forget excellence. This book will help you rise above it all and become, well, not too bad.

From the Hardcover edition.

“Charles Gordon gives us what we cannot get from Dave Barry and Jerry Seinfeld even on their best days…good, truly Canadian humour.”
Books in Canada

“…Better be alone in the room while reading this book: incessant chuckling can be so irritating to others.”
