About this audiobook

The creator of Dilbert ventures into hilarious new territory.



Everyone knows Scott Adams as the king of workplace humor. No office is complete without a few Dilbert strips on the wall. And if you compare a VP to the Pointy-Haired Boss, no further description is necessary.



But why should a humorist stick to the workplace when there are so many other great subjects to explore? What about politics? Religion? Malfunctioning underpants?



Despite some fans who wish he would "Stick to Drawing Comics, Monkey Brain!" Adams now offers more than 150 short pieces on every slice of human existence, from airport fiascos to wedding planning, from his doughnut theory of the universe to the menace of car singing. Like George Carlin or Jerry Seinfeld, Adams isn't afraid to ask the really big questions. For instance:



-If a Finnish teenager hacks into our voting machines and picks the next president, would that really make things worse?



-How can you know for sure that Charles Schwab didn't take all of your money and spend it on hookers and cocaine?



-Is it okay to think your own thoughts during the gaps between the words when your wife is talking?



-How much would it cost to have your own army of Third World mercenaries? And would it be wrong to make them join coalitions just so you can hear the president say your name on TV?



-Do you really need to respect the religious views of people who killed themselves to follow a comet? Or is pretending okay?



-If you were a supermodel, would you sell your DNA to a billionaire who planned to raise your clone as a sex slave?

    3/5
    Dilbert creator Scott Adams' latest book of prose is an example of a recent publishing trend: the blog book, in which a writer keeps a daily-ish blog, the collects the best entries and assembles them into a collection printed on dead trees. As former blog entries, all of the chapters are short, which makes this book perfect for bathroom reading. That's a not a slam on the book, just an observation of what type of book it is.A few of the pieces relate to creation of the Dilbert strip--mostly encounters with censors--but most of the book is filled with Adams' observations of his daily life or world events. Adams can be a funny writer, so if you're a fan of Dilbert you'll probably find many chuckles inside. Sometimes though he gets a bit pedantic, and his occasional anti-religion swipes seem a bit unthinking. Still, overall a pleasant way to pass the time.Rating: 3 (of 5)

    Having loved all the previous Dilbert books, I didn't hesitate to pick this up. It is at first a disorienting read since this book does not adhere to a business theme, but it is so much fun finding out how brilliant Scott Adams can be in his take on the world from global to doorstep. Adams is a very funny and wise man and writing this review makes me just want to pick the book up and read it again. Anyone that has read Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 thinks about what book they would commit to memory to preserve for generations to come. This would be the one for me.

    There were a few chapters in this book that annoyed the living hell out of me. However, most of it was highly enjoyable and pretty darn funny. You just have to be the kind of person that doesn't get offended easily

    The title is aptly named. While Mr. Adams tries to make light of his liberal elitist atheist persona, he comes across as preachy, condescending, and quite frankly, unfunny. The only interest in the book to me was some behind-the-scenes info on some of his Dilbert strips. I enjoy Dilbert, but knowing the 'man' behind the strip can now only take away from my enjoyment.
