The Most Important Book Since Gutenberg


Human Resource Books and Writing

Being Irish...Contemplations on the Nature and Meaning of The Irish Race has been declared by almost no critics as the most important book written since the phone, check and/or matchbook.

Written by Second City alum, Joe Keefe, Being Irish... is pound-for-pound much funnier than War and Peace or anything written by Melville and utilizes far fewer words.

Mr. Keefe, world, renowned expert in business comedy and professional smart@ss, packs the most comedy into the fewest words since Ross Perot. Growing up in an Irish-American family of 10, his hilarious observations are either ironically brilliant jokes or painfully true stories. (He's not sure which.)

Keefe's writing has been compared to Hemingway (Mariel), Twain (Shania) and Faulkner (Fast Eddie). Given that Being Irish... is one of those little novelty books, here's a sample of the funny:

Being Irish means...
You drink to forget... but you forgot what you were drinking to forget.

Being Irish means...
You don't know the words, but that doesn't stop you from singing.

Being Irish means...
At least two of the ten commandments are optional.

If you're Irish, or if you know someone who is Irish, or if you know someone who drinks beer - this is the book for them... and you... and everyone else you know. Rush to the nearest Amazon.com and order way too many. Thank you for your time and consciousness.

The End.

Joe Keefe's Improv Yourself teaches you how to develop those skills."
