Product Description
Rule number 2: When someone says he is “pumped” about something, it usually means he’s about to do something stupid.
Rule number 36: No matter how hard you practice, you cannot say the phrase, “Yeah, right” without sounding sarcastic.
Rule number 45: For the last time, no goddamn Speedos.
Rule number 108: The road to hell is not paved with good intentions. The road to hell is paved with smooth-jazz CDs, herbal teas, John Tesh specials, and low-fat cheese.
Rule number 154: Properly made, leftover chili gets better and better every day until the fourth day, at which point it begins its slow decline.
Rule number 59: The study of inert gases is best left to professionals.
Rule number 38: When it comes to luggage, men don’t pull.

Customer Reviews
It's Funny Because It's True
Rule #97: "Never trust a man who claps backs." Rule $95: "Rightfielders are the ugliest baseball players." Rule #24: "A man in a minivan is half a man." All true, and all very funny. While it's written with the tongue firmly planted in cheek, any self-respecting man could do a lot worse than following Esquire's rules...especially rule #21: "Talk half as much as you listen."
a clever take with some truth and much needed humor
I bought this originally off the $1 bargain table as a stocking stuffer but found it so amusing I had to order a copy for myself. Its a tongue-in-cheek take on rules of the man's world with enough truth to strike a chord and provide much needed humor into this complicated topic. Makes a good (and cheap) gift.
Very Entertaining
If you enjoy reading the "Rules" in Esquire, you'll really enjoy finding so many in one place. I read mine and then packaged it up for a gift for my college-aged son.
