The Happy Phrase
In an unusual but happy pairing, creator of the Murray Whelan crime novels Shane Maloney and comedy writer Guy Rundle combine to bring us this compendium of phrases for every occasion. Commit these phrases to memory, they suggest, and you will have a pithy, even witty, phrase at your beck and call. Phrases for courting include '- Would you like to come up and see my Ken Done?' and '- Do you have any experience in changing surgical dressings?' Usefully designed so the reader can avoid embarrassment in any situation, such as applying for the artistic directorship of a contemporary dance company, this book is nothing short of life-saving. The authors have also thoughfully provided handy facts and hints which are apropos of nothing.
