Milk, Eggs, Vodka...

by Bill Keaggy.

Bill is one of my friends. He is on my kickball team. I've heard people talk about his books a few times but never really thought much about them. The other day I looked on his website and decided I should order his book and give it a shot. Bill's Website if you want to take a gander.

Anyway, his book (or one of them) came in the mail the other day and I started reading it last night. It's a collection of grocery lists that Bill has either found or people send in to him. He tears them apart making fun of their lists. It's hilarious. I think it's so funny to me because I'm sure I do a ton of these things! It may not sound like it's a good book, but trust me. It's awesome.

Here are a few clips from it. Remember, if you have the actual book you are seeing the scan of the actual list. The persons handwriting, doodles, misspellings, etc. This is just me typing. Along with every list is a comment from Bill. That's where the funny begins. Here's a few:

That's just a few clips. You may not find this funny at all (and if not, sorry for wasting your time!) but I think it's hilarious. You just have to read it to know what I'm talking about.

It has a whole section devoted to OCD lists...that's me for sure! I organize my shopping list by section and aisle. Yes I'm crazy. I am fully aware.

Hope you like my little book review!
