    " Light, whimsical, Southern humor. Somehow, I didn't find it quite as funny as the previous Celia Rivenbark books I read. Maybe because I was recovering from a back injury, and couldn't aprreciate the humor as much. The title comes from one joke told by one acquaintance in one story. Other than that, there's little focus on drinking. The humorous stories cover a variety of topics. "

    " This is a book that is well worth listening to on cd (read by the author). Celia Rivenbark is from a small North Carolina town close to my hometown. I related to far too many of her stories. Her language is a bit rough and nothing is off limits - she's willing to make fun of just about anything but I found some chapters were really funny. This isn't a thought provoking novel but strictly brain candy. "

    " I'm hooked! I'll take one of eveything she's written. Hubby and I travelled to Topsail Island, NC (her neck of the woods) and listened to this (read by the author) as we moseyed from place to place. We laughed out loud... constantly! She's funny on so many levels, it's not even funny. As soon as I post this, I'm logging into half.com to order more of these gems on audio. Wonder if I can pull a total groupie and find an author visit in my near vacinity. I'm willing to bet you I can! "

    " Given to me by my thoughtful friend, Carol. She thought I'd like it because it was my "humor" and she was so right! I loved it. I had to be careful about reading it before bed, otherwise I had to stifle my belly laughs while my husband lay sleeping beside me. "

    " Just giving this a 3 because it is not my kind of book! She is a funny writer though and I'm sure this will be well-liked by many! Think David Sedaris southern girl style. She is too crude for my taste...but most comedians are! Thanks for giving me a copy to read and review! "

    " One ascerbic, caustic remark after another is not funny to me but toxic. ALthough I enjoyed her first chapter and laughed - a whole book of absolutely nothing but criticism was more than I could handle. "

    " I think my expectations of this book were too high - mainly from the hysterical title. I so wanted to love this book, but only managed a few chuckles throughout it. It felt contrived to me. Maybe I'm just not southern enough! "

    " This book was a nice departure from keeping up with a plot. It was funny but sometimes I found the Southern humor not to be truthfully Southern. I would consider reading her other books but I'm not dying to pick the next one up. It was just an alright read. Amusing but not a page-turner. "
