Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
- Grab your current read
- Open to a random page
- Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
- BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
- Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
“My advice,” Milly says, pointing a fork, “is always find a man who wears polyester. It’s a fabric you can trust on a man.”
From Precious, by Sandra Novack
That’s very funny because my (former) husband used to teach, and at the end of every semester, he was sure to get at least 3 evaluations that said, “he’s a good teacher but I can’t stand those polyester shirts he wears!”
LOL that’s funny!! Come visit me, I have something for you =)
LOL! What era does this book take place in?? if it’s in the 1970s with those icky polyester leisure suits, I don’t know about her advice!
I’m not sure you can trust anything on a man but that was an amusing teaser.
lol! The thought of a man wearing polyster now just sounds scary to me! Great teaser.
Sounds like something I need to pass on to BiblioGuy. lol!
lol!
This reminds me of that saying ‘never trust a man who wears both a belt and suspenders’. well, it’s sort of related?
Hmmm, my guy is for all natural fibers!
This is a great line, sounds like the start of an SNL skit.
My teaser is here.
That’s really funny.
Rhapsody – I had a jr high math teacher that wore polyester suits…once we found out his first name was Les, we called him Lester Polyester (behind his back, of course).
Kristina – thanks! Of course, I still haven't commented on that post, ironically enough.
Valerie – 1978…you're spot on!
Dar – ouch!
Jo-Jo – I agree!
baddict & nymeth – That quote isn't very very reflective of the book. But it was funny!
Care – lol! Last week I saw a guy wearing suspenders with those nylon track pants. That just seemed wrong.
Dawn – same here, and if there are holes, even better!
Elizabeth – the rest of the book was pretty serious, though.
Never trust a man who wears suspenders with elastic pants!?!?! goodness.
Interesting teaser!
