If I Were a Man, I'd Marry Me
It's no understatement when the Atlanta Journal-Constitution calls P. S. Wall "Erma Bombeck with attitude." Now America's wry new humorist casts her penetrating eye on everything from felines to Elvis, dieting to weed whackers, country living to sexy French tour guides, not to mention . . .
Younger "If you fall in love with a younger guy, it's like trying to have a relationship with a jock strap. There's just no give, and expansion is totally out of the question."
"Traffic police are a mystery to me. As far as I'm concerned, it's just not natural for a guy to stop a woman for going too fast."
"Buying a truck is like dating. If you're not careful, you'll end up paying for that test drive the rest of your life."
"In our neck of the woods, 'politically correct' means mounting your Rush Limbaugh sticker on the right side of the bumper."
There's just no stopping a woman with a "smart-aleck streak as wide as she claims her posterior to be."* Both acerbic and playful, If I Were a Man, I'd Marry Me is humor with a savvy sting.

Loved this book of humorous essays. Paula Wall has a wry sense of humor and this was fun. The book is a little dated (written in 2000) but it is still appropriate. This author is a native of Clarksville (my home) and went to the local university (APSU - Austin Peay State University - where the football cheer is "Go Peay!" - seriously), so perhaps I'm a little biased.

Some VERY funny essays, some merely dry, droll, or witty. Almost all brought a smile to my lips and the one about the cat and the lizard had me rolling with laughter!
