About this ebook

When I am King... this book will be required reading. Until then, consider it important background reading on future social policy. And an excellent beer coaster.

With life comes life's many critical problems, such as:

• Why are wedding ceremonies so very long, often outlasting the marriages themselves?
• Why are we forced to celebrate wedding anniversaries, inevitably leading to stress, forgetfullness, guilt, anger, recriminations, and alimony?
• We're constantly making mistakes in life and have no one to blame but ourselves. Why can't we hire someone to take the blame?
• Why are women's showers so packed with bottles and substances that there's no room left for the people?
• Why aren't newborn babies clearly labeled with their sex to avoid awkward assumptions by strangers?
• Why are newborn stats reported in weight and length, like fish?

Fortunately, this manifesto exists to deal with these and other pressing problems that we all face in work, relationships, parenting, eating, and life overall.

Ratings and reviews

When I Am King by +Chet Haase​ is the funniest thing I've read outside of Wodehouse. If you know me at all, you'll know that this is high praise. By the time I got to page 25 or so, I was laughing so hard that my face and stomach hurt and tears were falling down my face. Still reading this post? Go buy it now! Like right NOW! And when you're done laughing - which will be sometime next week - you can pick up the sequel and laugh some more.

Quirky & sometimes amusing rants. Too much to take all at once but makes a great bathroom book!

Disappointing. The author didn't go into any detail about Android or its history.
