Don't Sleep with a Bubba: Unless Your Eggs are in Wheelchairs
Celebrated humorist and columnist Susan Reinhardt hits another homerun with "Don't Sleep with a Bubba," the follow-up collection of wild and heartfelt stories to "Not Tonight Wait 'Til I"m a Size 6." In "Don't Sleep with a Bubba," she runs into her usual hilarious suspects: the dog that underwent liposuction of the "private parts," the drunk that got a DWI on horseback while getting a Happy Meal on his steed at the drive-thru, and her crazy sister's antics, which include painting her grass green in the winter, selling Jesus pancakes on eBay, and her outrageous pre-school teaching practices. While most of Reinhardt's stories are colorful and hilarious, she goes into a deeper side with this new book and reveals her horror with a date rape at a frat house when she was 17, and a nine-day stay in a psyche ward for a plunging depression. Vivid, candid and heartfelt, her stories will both entertain and inspire..
