I'm the Other Man in My Own Marriage : a Frustrating and Funny Look at Family Living Howard Noel

Not since Erma Bombeck has the humorous side of daily living been given such a stage. "I'm the Other Man in My Own Marriage" is a hilarious look at parents trying to relate to their teenagersw, husbands trying to relate to their wives, and neighbors trying not to upset their peace by relating too much to anyone. Here is where you come to learn how to teach sex ed at the hardware store; how to stage a "budget" wedding like that of say, Princess Grace or "Lady Di;" or how to choose a good restaurant, where the "House Red" is something more than ketchup. Syndicated columnist Howard Noel has drawn from his weekly humor column "The Front Porch" in order to bring to us this dubious blue print for daily living. His characters are his family, neighbors, and of course the venerable Uncle Merle who stands as a "signpost" of common sense and wry wit. If what you read in this book has not happened to you -- you'll wish it had.
