Review:

"Lewis Grizzard thinks funny." ―San Diego Union
"Imagine Andy Rooney with a Georgian accent and a sense of humor." ―Houston Post
"It makes you feel good to know a person can face the tubes, wires, knives and needles of major heart surgery and make you laugh about it." ―United Press International
"His funniest book ... it will strike a responsive chord in anyone who ever has come face-to-face with a gimlet-eyed surgeon who is about three payments behind on his Mercedes." ―Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"We should be grateful to NewSouth for making this little book available, so we can again hear Grizzard’s sardonic and insightful voice." ―Don Noble, First Draft
