Silly similes: “And Seaman, just like a falling oak, manages to change direction.”—sportscaster John Motson. Little-known tax rules: “To meet the qualifying children test, your child must be younger than you.”—IRS website. Plus, celebrity pomposity, unfortunate typos, and questionable actual book titles: How to Train Goldfish Using Dolphin Training Techniques. Printed on responsibly sourced paper and 100% recyclable.
