    About this ebook

    The lord of snark, Lawrence Dorfman, is back! With this treasury of backhanded compliments, sarcastic insults, and catty comebacks, Dorfman gives us transformative wisdom that’s sure to change your lifeor at least induce a light chuckle.
    One question plagues us all: How do we survive all the Sturm und Drang of everyday life? The answer is but one word: snark.

    She wears her clothes as if they were thrown on by a pitchfork.” Jonathan Swift

    Why don’t you get a haircut? You look like a chrysanthemum.” P. G. Wodehouse

    He’s a mental midget with the IQ of a fence post.” Tom Waits

    They hardly make ’em like him anymorebut just to be on the safe side, he should be castrated anyway.” Hunter S. Thompson

    He has a Teflon brain . . . nothing sticks” Lily Tomlin

    He has no more backbone than a chocolate éclair.” Theodore Roosevelt

    Snark will keep the wolves at bay (or at least out on the porch). Snark, much like a double scotch, will help you deal with relatives, shopping, and rudeness; it is an outlet for the unleashed vitriolic bile that’s saved itself up over the months. Like a shield, it will protect you while you go about your life. Snark is your answer!

      A collection of quotes, jokes, and one-liners on a wide range of topics. As one would expect with snark, some of items are funny, some are harsh but funny, and some are downright mean. A quick read that reinforced my resolution to read Dorothy Parker and P.G. Wodehouse sooner rather than later.
