One day I was walking around the bookstore looking for a good read when a book suddenly caught my eye. It was entitled Be The Best You Can Be, by Moe Howard.
Wait a minute. Moe Howard of the Three Stooges an actual self-help author? I picked up the book to examine its back cover and sure enough there was a photo of Moe himself, well-dressed in business attire, his hair brushed back and looking every bit the gentleman he was in real life. But this man an actual self-help author? When did he have time for writing while he was busy slapping his fellow Stooges around? No matter. This was definitely the book I wanted.
I wanted to read a few paragraphs from the book but it was wrapped in plastic along with a sticker reading “To be removed after purchase”. Fine. So I went to the cash register, paid for the book and drove home, eager to start reading Moe’s advice for reaching my full potential.
Once I got home, I went to the living room, sat down in my comfy chair and unwrapped the book before starting the first chapter. As soon as I opened the book, a hand suddenly flew out and poked my eyes.
