Don't Bend Over in the Garden, Granny, You Know Them Taters Got Eyes

By Lewis Grizzard

Book Overview

This time Lewis Grizzard has gone and done it--written a book about sex, as seen through his bespectacled, ironic squint. He tells us why Junior Leaguers don't do it in groups, why Baptists won't do it standing up, and why Richard Nixon never did it, among other things.

Funny, and enjoyable. Sex education for the shy people; with humor and good story telling; makes a good book to read and not make you blush too much!

Grizzard Makes Us Laugh!

This book, like all of Lewis Grizzard's books, is absolutely full of humor. Even though he's been dead for several years, I still miss his columns and books.

Did someone really complain that this book has no plot?

Complaining that Lewis Grizzard's writing lacks a plot is like complaining that Beethoven or Merle Haggard's music isn't good to dance to. Lewis Grizzard was a columnist and he didn't write "stories" with "plots". He wrote essays full of perceptive and funny insight into what makes people tick, or at least amusement that he didn't understand certain things, such as Dr. Ruth's status as a sex expert. (Now, be honest.... how many saw Dr. Ruth for the first time and thought "SHE's a sex expert"?)I don't know about the rest of the world, but Georgia misses Lewis Grizzard.

Very funny, one of his best

Lewis was one of the funniest authors that ever wrote on southern traditions.

Lewis at his best

In "Don't bend Over in the Garden Granny, You know them Taters Got Eyes" Lewis takes a look at . . . well . . . sex. From poking fun at how the accent of Dr. Ruth could seriously hurt someone and other hilarious subjects that will keep you laughing for days.
