You probably didn't see Rob Delaney's book Mother. Wife. Sister. Human. Warrior. Falcon. Yardstick. Turban. Cabbage. on the bestseller list. I didn't. I did see it mentioned in the Sunday NY Times in the section where they interview people about what they read. It was recommended as a funny book. I think maybe I laughed once.
What I want to know is this. Actually, I probably don't want to know this, because I don't really care. That is, why do so many male writers revert to scatological content. I feel as though they are forcing me to look into the locker of a teenaged boy in order to find a laugh. All I find is an odor I'd prefer to forget. It also seems to me that women writers don't feel the need to talk about bowel movements nearly as much as men do.
