The authors' back-story is littered with empty beer cans, outrageous stunts, and an enthusiasm for making people laugh. College friends, roommates, and fraternity brothers, they headed into the real world after chickening out on a magazine venture in their twenties. One chose the predictable safety of a biweekly paycheck courtesy of corporate America, and the other chose to grab a seat on the unpredictable roller coaster ride sponsored by entrepreneurship. They got married, fertilized their wife's eggs a couple of times, and continued to enrich their long-standing friendship by circling back and creating comically informative books, of which this is the first.
