Summary

In this uproarious encore to The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank, Erma Bombeck confronts society's greatest challenge: surviving the Seventies -- the fears, the worries, the anxieties. She shares with her readers some of her deepest concerns: discovering that lettuce has been fattening all along; getting into the Guinness Book of Records under "Pregnancy: Oldest Recorded Birth;" leaving the world suddenly and knowing that no one else in the family can replace a toilet-tissue spindle. - Jacket flap.

Reader reviews for If Life Is a Bowl of Cherries What Am I Doing in the Pits?: Bestselling Author of Family--The Ties That Bind...and Gag!

From the publisher

"See if you can read a paragraph without laughing out loud."
Art Buchwald
The enchanting lady of laughter has done it again--this time taking a hilarious swipe at husbands, honeymoons, tennis elbow, marriage, lettuce, the national anthem, and a host of other domestic dilemmas.
"It's fun from cover to cover."
THE HARTFORD COURANT

First line

Next to hot chicken soup, a tattoo of an anchor on your chest, and penicillin, I consider a honeymoon one of the most overrated events in the world.
