The author is perhaps not the most romantic of men, but despite this has, over the years, participated in his share of relationships with those of that incomprehensible breed known as woman. Sometimes they have been satisfying and of the happily-ever-after sort, of interest only to those actually involved; sometimes they have been, shall we say, turbulent. Those are far more interesting and it is those he had used as the inspiration for these stories.As a guide to maintaining a happy love life this collection fails miserably, but it is far more successful as a graphic illustration of what not to do when dealing with those of the opposite gender.One story here is wholly fictional: it is up to the reader to determine which.
