We're all in this together . . . : so make some room
"Stand-up is all well and good, but observational humor that's funny and warm may work best in books. And Tom Papa, whose loyal audiences are packed with "date night" couples of all ages, has perfected the form. In We're All In This Together, Papa's thirty-seven short essays tackle these universal American topics, among others: -Love for Your First Car ("To Buy or Lease") -The Truth about Personal Hygiene ("How You Know When It's Time to Go") -Date Nights ("Will You Go Out with Me?") -Unfamiliar Hotel Rooms ("Why Nothing Works") -Pets ("Cats--Ancient Menace") -Drinking ("There's no Cure for a Hangover") -Ducking your Family, even Though you Love Them ("The Lesson of Mark Twain's Cigars") Tom Papa's books make readers laugh, but--crucially--feel better about themselves while doing it. And while there's thematic overlap with Papa's stand-up, with a couple of exceptions, all the writing here is fresh for our book"-- Provided by publisher.
You're not totally crazy
My town, your town, our town
Dad is flying the plane!
Don't eat that
The stuff that finds us
Quit complaining
Cats
ancient menace
Don't swim alone
The lesson of Mark Twain's cigars
Surviving childhood
Why we return to the sea
There's no cure for a hangover
How you know when it's time to go
Some things that can kill us
Trust
A wise ancestor called Grandpa
These are the days that must happen to you
What gnomes can teach us
Long live the clowns
You're going to need some spray
The good and the bad
Navigating the wine List
To buy or lease?
Will you go out with me?
Finding religion
Why we marry
How are you feeling?
A Christmas Town hero
Never trust children who dress as adults
Sleeping together
How to relax
Try not to lie
Don't fear the cloud
That's amore
Pack your bags
The final out
Regrets? I have a bunch.
