Greg's hilarious take on dealing with the frustations of parenting in this age of technology made me LOL, ROFL, and LMAO (my daughter helped me with those. --Ray Romano, star of Everybody Loves Raymond
Laugh out loud funny! I bought this book after seeing Greg's stand-up comedy in Chicago. If you grew up in the 60's you will love the nostalgic look at how simple things were in our youth. Flesh colored phones attached to kitchen walls, paper routes and metal swingsets - a world our kids will never know. The chapter on The Joy of Sex with 20 specialists had me laughing until I was crying. A great, fun read.. Barbara in So Cal said Simply hilarious!!. I bought this book after meeting Greg at a tradeshow where he emcee'd at our company's booth. He is extremely funny in person so I could only imagine how hilarious his life observations would be in a book format. I was not disappointed! I read the book in one sitting and laughed through the entire thing. He is sharp and sarcastic and keenly observant. The reason this book is so funny is that the reader can relate to so much of what he writes. Especially if you were born in the 60's. He includes many funny stories of his childhood gro. "Greg - Better than ever!!" according to R. Schmitz. What a delightful book, full of laughs and a sneek peak into the real life of a Comedian. Had to order 12 books to give to friends and family.
What does a Dad do when his eight year old asks Santa for a Wii Fit and a 4G iPhone? The answer is simple: laugh!
