NOTE FROM FRAN:

Many of us, trying to improve our mental or physical health,
turn to popular authors for insight. But did you ever
get the feeling that some of their keyboards
are missing a few letters, if you catch my drift?

Self-Help Author is Crazy

9> “Your emergency imagery kit for stressful times: Puppies, rainbows, unicorns, box-cutters, Kalashnikov assault rifles….”

8> I don’t know about you, but “Do What You Love, and Prison Will Follow” just seems wrong.

7> A title like “What Color Is Your Anvil?” could be a pretty good tip-off.

6> “How can you expect me to lead this &$%## group meditation on world peace if somebody keeps using up all my &#%$$!ing Xanax?”

5> “I’m OK, You’re OK, My Invisible Friend Herbert, Not So Much”

4> “Who Moved My Cheez-Whiz?” as a title seems a bit over the edge, if you ask me.

3> He tried to incorporate as a limited partnership with three of his other personalities.

2> Her new seminar: “How to Get in Touch With Your Inner Glassy-eyed Muttering Homeless Street Person.”

and the Number 1 Sign a Self-Help Author is Crazy…

1> The solution to all your problems seems to be pudding.
