Håndbog for halvgamle mænd

Handbook for oldish men

ABOUT THE BOOK

Have you started calling your wife 'mummy'? Do your speeches contain one or several Piet Hein-quotes? Have you started driving a motor cycle because you miss the feeling of having something between your legs? In that case, you have truly become an oldish man, and in this book you will be able to discover which type you belong to.

 

An indispensable work of reference for all you men, who have passed forty years of age. Test your mental condition and get good advice on how you can share your incredibly large knowledge about almost everything in a considerate manner.

 

The book also contains a catalogue of inspiration on 99 subjects about which you can complain. Ranging from public opinion poll firms that call you in the middle of your favourite TV-show to ask you about your attitude towards liquid margarine, to the wellness-hysteria, where even the smallest sink on a roadside inn is appointed "luxury spa". In other words, enough material for several weeks of grumbling.

 

Read the fascinating tale of the function and history of the nose hair trimmer, and have a look at the oldish man's want list, which can be used year after year.
