NEW CLICHES FOR THE 21ST CENTURYThis is a plucky book with provocative new perspectives on timeless topics. These little Zuckerisms run the gamut from silly to sagacious, all with Dr. Zuckerman's stamp of droll whimsy. From the first chapter, The Doctor Is In, to the last, The Pondering Jew, nothing is too sacred to escape a satirical poke from Zuckerman. This zany collection of new cliches ( a wacky oxymoron of its own! ) is guaranteed to skew your thinking toward some unlikely directions for the new millennium!" "The Official First and Last Authority on Cliches, Platitudes, Aphorisms & Old Saws."Dr. Zuckerman is a practicing doctor of internal medicine and a successful venture capitalist. He was born in Brooklyn and, although he has lived in Minneapolis for the past 26 years, he is a inveterate New Yorker who regularly returns to his native culture in Manhattan to polish up on his fluent Brooklynese. Caring for his patients has always been the fuel for his exuberant optimism and the inspiration for most of his writing.
NEW PARABLES FOR A NEW MILLENIUM, AND WHAT I LEARNED FROM THE TRUKESE
Some of his Zuckerism's:
"There seems to be an emerging perception that exercise & alcohol is the best health formula."
"The time tested cure for racism: interbreeding."
"Missionaries are the poor man's philanthropist, donating time rather than money."
"Cross a Muslim with a Catholic and you get a Jew."
This book is chocked full of intriguing, wisdom exuding Zuckerman vignettes and mind boggling inventions.
Don"t laugh too hard at his Rube Goldbergesk inventions, you'll be using one or more in the near future!
