All men should know about this book

OK fellas, I’ve got the perfect book for you. Not only is it a funny 243-page read, but it’s also a helpful guide for men when it comes to women, friends, social lives and everything in between.

“101 Things Every Man Should Know How to Do” is a definite must if any guy wants to succeed in life’s various tasks – and still look good doing it.

This how-to book is published by 28 male and female authors from WEbook, an online publication community where writers can join together and create all kinds of new and inventive ways to publish and write books.

The book covers everything from the handy, such as how to buy a used car, to the
bizarre, such as how to avoid an alien abduction.

Then there’s the pure genius.

Honestly, what woman doesn’t want her man to know how to kill a rat when the time calls for it?

Whether you and your bros need to know the best way to sneak into Cuba or how to play a stellar game of beer pong, this book has the steps to accomplish such a victory.

“101 Things” can appeal to every type of man. There is “The Manly Man,” who can make “ass-bangin’ chili.” Then there’s “The Tricky Man,” who can talk his way out of a speeding ticket. Or even “The Resourceful Man,” who can roll a joint. These man
categories and many others are  conveniently sectioned off throughout the book.

However, I do have one precaution for the lovely ladies: There are some rather clever tips that reveal the intricate secrets of the female mind.

Not only does it teach harmless skills on how to listen without really listening and how
to apologize, the book also gives tips on how to date two women at the same time without being caught – appalling, right?

Sure, maybe only bold and daring men would try and pull off such a stunt, but ladies, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

On the bright side, girls, it might not be such a bad idea to pick up this book for yourselves. You never know – you might learn a thing or two, like how to counteract the tip that teaches men how to hold onto their tacky housewares such as football helmet lamps.

Although the book has entertaining and useful advice, the witty writers could have left out the disgusting chapter called “Get Away With Almost Never Going to the Laundromat.”

This is poor, although clever, advice that is a little too unsanitary and smelly for 95 percent of U.S. women (The statistics might not be entirely accurate, but you get my point).

All in all, the book is a fast and easy tool for men living in the real world.

It contains bits and pieces of information that you might not have thought of before. It will certainly help you look good in front of mom, dad, best friends and ladies.

If nothing else, you’ll have a hearty, manly laugh.
