In this entertaining and informative collection of anecdotes, Trovato tackles such vexing matters as a man's right to boff a cheating opponent on the noggin with a five iron, the appropriate moment to whip out your wood in front of a player of the fairer sex, and whether or not there is a market for a six-cylinder, V8 golf cart.

Durban Poison
Author: Ben Trovato
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781928420668
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Ben Trovato's writing has been described as "the literary equivalent of sex with a clown." In his latest book, the author derives an almost unseemly amount of pleasure from satirising the foibles and fantasies of our political fabulists. In this collection of wit and venom, he goes further than poking the bears of bureaucracy or lampooning the low-hanging fruitcakes of our world. Frequently turning the gaze on himself, Trovato doesn't always like what he finds. From marital failures to travel disasters, from medical emergencies to breaking the law, Trovato bravely and often stupidly goes where many fear to tread. With an itchy trigger-finger and sights set permanently on roam, Trovato guns for the power-crazed despots, the bankers and the wankers, and all who try to run and ruin our lives. Sometimes he misses and kicks the underdog by mistake, but that's life for you. He also writes about gardening and cooking, but not in a good way.
