more than a Joe Pera book next to the can." --Seth Meyers "A
beautiful and funny book about something I have done all my life.
Thank you, Mr. Joseph Pera." --Aidy Bryant "A thing of beauty. On
or off the John." --Alia Shawkat "Joe Bennett always knows how to
find the depth in the shallow things, bringing our attention along
with his to see what's been profound all along, right there, in the
profane." --Brad Neely "In very few words, this book manages to
convey its message and a wealth of feeling that will stick with
readers long after they have emerged from their washroom escape."

wholesomeness and the working class." --Vulture on Joe Pera Talks

the soft-spoken, deadpan, and disarming type." --AV Club on Joe
