In the late 1960s there was a series of small books called “The Bluffer’s Guide to [fill ln the blank].” The promise was that you could fake your way through a conversation about art or football or whatever by reading the appropriate guide.
One claim, and I suspect that this is still true, was that if you read one book on any subject you’ll almost always know more about that subject than 99% of the other people in the room.

I like this librarian. Good and snarky.

Somehow, I’m not convinced Sluggo2020 is lying.

Would that book be written by Kenny Rogers?

I doubt that I am the ONLY person who put that title into a search engine to see if that’s a REAL book!!

Sluggo needs to read that book before Nancy’s next loyalty interrogation (today’s Nancy Classics.)

Sluggo would get the last laugh years later when he won the World Series of Poker…

That librarian spotted Sluggo as a B.S. artist from a mile away. And very convenient that she had that book ready for him.

For shame…. the librarian is trying to get Sluggo into gambling and poker playing! :)

Her next recommendation is “How To Lie With Statistics” (a real book. I have a copy and it is one of my favorites.)

Anyone who is smart and educated enough can see through it depending on how good they really are at it.
