"The loudest voice in a man's head, along with the voice telling him to eat, is the voice that's constantly telling him to beat off. Just like you shouldn't go to the supermarket on an empty stomach, said the beat-off voice, you shouldn't make any life decisions with your prostate swollen up and pressing against your brain."
Last Leg is a novel full of wit, just itching to be read. How can you top a Sunday afternoon with a picnic in the park and a book about: breast augmentation, toxic dumping, sex-crazed relatives, a handicapped cat and a one-legged man working for a corrupt air freshener company in New Jersey?
