And finally, thank you thank you list at the beginning of this book for being longer than the actual book. What the hell is that about?

Thank you, reader, for buying this book. Because of you, I just made enough money to buy part of one beer. So in a way you, and a bunch of other readers, just bought me a beer. And when I drink that beer, I will stare into the glass and say a quiet thank you. Everyone else in the bar will wonder why Im talking to my drink, but so what? This is between you and me. Me thanking you for buying this book. Unless you got it as a gift. In which case, you should go find that person and thank him or her.

Now that everybodys good and thanked, go ahead and enjoy the book. I promise youll laugh. If you dont, then come find me at the bar. Ill buy you part of one beer.
