"Humorous "self-help" book"

As the subtitle states BAD ADVICE is "A Nasty Little Book for Good Girls Who Want to Be Bad". Actually the "reference" book is a satirical series of tips on how to turn around situations. Tongue in cheek, readers will either laugh out loud over the suggestions, test some (be prepared for the consequences when you try Evel Knievel stunts like the get off work tip because that could backfire and get you fired), or dislike the inanity and stop reading. This reviewer found the book hilarious reading a few pointers at a time while my spouse tried unsuccessfully to hide the tome as he did not want to be the subject of experimenting. So take off your Ronald McDonald's mask, confront the opponent with zaniness and absurdity, and transform into a bad girl.

Aside to Ms Vialli: I am AARP ancient so does that mean it is too late for me to convert? Then again maybe I don't have to change as there are writers, publishers and readers who classify me as such and some might try these ruses on a pain in the butt bad girl reviewer.
