I would really appreciate help, as the Big Day (Fathers Day) is approaching fast (even though this is a book of humor that can be read at any time, it starts with a child's imagined response to his father):
Description of "I Will Not Go the F**K To Sleep" (Humorous Essays)
By a widely published author and father of 3 children, 8 books, and 1 kicking and screaming Inner Child that refuses to grow up, this book imagines:
• What if a child, asked to go the f**k to sleep by its father, could respond in adult language?
• A band of 5000 yogis flown in from India specifically to balance India's budget deficit by spilling coffee on their laps at 5,000 McDonald's restaurants . . .
• And a Nuclear Weapons fire sale to help balance America's deficit?
• What would Christ say to the Reagan-Bush economists at The Last Judgment?
• What does it feel like to send your pet cat to a cat home or cat shelter, or to return a long-dead ex-chicken to an American supermarket?
• The story of an Indian men's magazine which ran a special Sex Issue, with condoms glued to the inside of the magazine for readers who might be too provoked to search for a condom.
This 26,000-word book of humorous essays and of political, social, and intercultural satire is the ninth book of Richard Crasta, who fathered three children in Long Island, New York, often as a stay at home Dad, and whose novel "The Revised Kama Sutra" was described as "very funny" by Kurt Vonnegut. It is not a book for children, but for adults who love absurd and satirical humor and wordplay. Among other things, it pokes fun at outsourcing, and of familiar stereotypes about Indians and Americans, and provides a revised post-p.c. version of Genesis. Or rather, as one magazine review of "The Revised Kama Sutra", the author's first novel said, "no sacred cows whatsoever."

Thank you,
