Modern Manners

LOST YOUR SAVOIR-FAIRE? NEVER KNOW WHAT TO SAY? MODERN MANNERS has all the answers. How, for instance, do you introduce a younger sister who, until recently, was a younger brother? Is it possible to vomit courteously? What''s the chic thing to throw in a food fight? And why is it not done to commit suicide at someone else''s funeral? In today''s complex world of shifting values and uncertainties, it''s good to know that there are still certain standards we can aspire to. From the best-selling author of ''Republican Party Reptile'' and ''holidays in Hell, Modern Manners'' is the only guide to the social skills that really matter.
