Justin Halpern is at it again! I Suck at Girls is the sequel to the brilliant Sh*t My Dad Says, and if you haven't read THAT you are missing out on mucho hilarity. Now, you must be prepared for a certain amount of colorful language and junior high humor, so, if that is not your thing I completely understand. However, if you are willing to temporarily suspend your high-falutin' standards read them both TODAY!!
Justin Halpern grew up in San Diego. His dad is a brilliant scientist with little patience for moronic behavior, especially in his son. Being prone to said behavior, Justin grew up with regular words of wisdom from his no-nonsense dad. After he graduated from San Diego State, worked as a struggling screenwriter/waiter in LA, got dumped by his girlfriend and moved back home, he started sharing his dad's sage words on a twitter account. Before he knew it he had 500,000 followers, a book and a TV deal. That he was lucky is an understatement, and he owes it all to the crazy things his dad says. For example:
"I was nine years old and crouching in the corner of the bathroom with my pants around my
ankles, trying to pee into a water balloon. The idea was to throw the pee-filled balloon at my
brothers in revenge for their merciless bouts of picking on me. Then, suddenly, the door
opened revealing my father. I froze in fear, the water balloon attached to my privates. My
dad stared in silence for a moment, then said, 'First of all, you can't fill up a water balloon
like that, dumb*!#!. Secondly, life is f@#$%*# long, especially if you're stupid.'"
No truer words were ever said. Don't be stupid. Read I Suck at Girls. TBC
