About This Item
Synopsis
In Modern Manners P.J. O’Rourke provides the essential accessory for the truly contemporary man or woman—a rulebook for living in a world without rules. Modern Manners is an irreverent and hilarious guide to anti-etiquette for the 1990s and beyond that offers pointed advice on a range of topics from sex and entertaining to reading habits and death. With the most up-to-date forms of vulgarity, churlishness, and presumption, the latest fashions in discourtesy and barbarous display, P.J. O’Rourke makes it easier for all of us to survive with style in a rude world. Rules include: “It’s better to spend money like there’s no tomorrow than tospend tonight like there’s no money;” “Guns are always the best method for private suicide. Drugs are too chancy. You might miscalculate the dosage and just have a good time;” “A hat should be taken off when you greet a lady and left off for the rest of your life. Nothing looks more stupid than a hat;” and “Never refuse wine. It is an odd but universally held opinion that anyone who doesn’t drink must be an alcoholic"
