Tom and Gregg entertain us yet again in this chapter of his book, which can indeed be a scenario you can relate to where he explores the social awkwardness of dealing with the “I’m better than you” sorts of people.
In a funny chapter entitled The Last Couples Dinner, he tells how the character of Jodi has been postponing a dinner date with her best friend and her husband, who is an “X+1” personality whose nature is to one-up everything anyone else says. Jodi runs out of reasons and pushes through with the dinner. Her meek and mild-mannered husband, David, teaches a trick or two and flexes a strategy on how to strike back at a one-upper gracefully.
Join the fun in this new episode of F*CKING ARGENTINA with Tom Fox and Gregg Greenberg. #TheLastCouplesDinner
ABOUT THE BOOK
F*cking Argentina and 10 More Tales of Exasperation by Gregg Greenberg is a compilation of short stories that dive into the American phenomenon of being in a near-perpetual state of aggravation. Greenberg’s anthology brings together eleven original pieces of work, each with their own slice of independent and distinct plot lines but all converging on the universal theme of exasperation. They run the whole gamut of scenarios, from the titular story “F*cking Argentina” wherein the country is once again in bankruptcy and a polite game of tug o’ war plays out on a porch, to “A Journeyman Tennis player’s Prayer” with a low ranking U.S. Open contender begging God for a comparable opponent. Both stories end with the superlative f-word, which showcases at some point in other stories, and a guaranteed chuckle from their readers. Buy the book here: http://fckingargentina.com/.
