The perfect gag gift, this humorous book helps readers navigate the world of real Low German. Scheisse! introduces readers to the fine art of cursing and basic slang to spice up their German speech. If you think you have a fairly good command of German, think again. For it’s a sure bet that Frau Schultz never taught you those nasty little guttural curses and humiliating invectives so expressive of real low German speech. But relax—here at last is the one book that can introduce you to the very worst beer-hall German. Scheisse! is an indispensable guide to off-color German colloquialisms and profanities—lascivious bedroom slang and boozy insults, jeering scatological put-downs and scurrilous ridicule. This hilarious illustrated cornucopia of creative expletives, guaranteed to vex, taunt, aggravate, and provoke as only overwrought low German can, will help you master the fine art of German verbal abuse—with triumphant one-upmanship.
Anecdotal material about government waste.
You’re not over the hill—it’s just taking you longer to get to the top. Mick Jagger did it. Paul McCartney did it too, and Tina Turner made it in a short skirt and red lipstick.

Gloria Steinem says that fifty is what forty used to be. So if your birthday candles set off the smoke alarm, don’t despair—dig into this warm and funny collection of celebrity quotes, lists, interviews, and tongue-in-cheek advice. Here’s all the wit and wisdom of many who have already reached the half-century mark, hilariously (or hysterically) gathered to remind you that you’re not alone, and that the best is yet come.
