Letters to Uncle Mike

Letters to Uncle Mike Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Is cohabitation among men and women workable? Do friends let friends have breast implants? Is homosexuality a fad? Should one call before dropping by? Why are men such jerks? Do octopi make good pets? Should children be made to wear leashes? How do you know when your mate is cheating on you? Why are potatoes called spuds? What do women really want? What makes special relativity special? Does time go faster when you're having fun? Does death have meaning in a quantum universe?

Uncle Mike answers all questions with the sensitivity and compassion he reserves for anyone who would ask a complete stranger for advice.

Review:

"Michael Burgess is excellent. Why do I say this? Because he sent me beer." — Dave Barry, Humorist

Synopsis:

"The Oregon Coast's sobering answer to Ann Landers and Dear Abby. Less mannerly than Miss Manners, taller than Dr. Ruth. Blunt advice on life and love for those that might be sorry they asked! As Uncle Mike loves to remind us, it's not called the human comedy for nothing."
