    It got a glowing review from David Byrne. What else do you need?

    I have no problem with this book... or any other book for that matter. They're just books- some better than others, but I don't believe in censorship. I also have no problem with the word fuck. In fact, as an expletive, it's one of the best. Ah, but there's the rub. The word "fuck" has become so common and over-used, it has lost it's power as a good expletive. It is also used frequently by people who have a limited vocabulary. By the end of the century the English language will probably contain no more than 2000 words and surely "fuck" will be on that list of words in an over-simplified language, but who the fuck will care?

    This is great. Two of my friends recently welcomed children....me thinks both of them need a copy but their wives probably wouldn't see the humor in it
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    The book is funny, but too long (not many pages though)... Reading it, it is one of those things where after a certain point you laugh less and less.

    I thought it was hilarious as a joke for parents-to-be... :lol: However, I don't think they would get it until it happens to them!! :lol:

    And from my experience, when my child just won't Go the F@*! to sleep, he usually doesn't want to read a book either. :crazy: :lol:
    Lots of love, light and hugs to you all!
