The Semi-Complete Guide to Sort of Being a Gentleman

The Semi-Complete Guide to Sort of Being a Gentleman might be the most irresponsible book written since The Bible. And a bible it is, in its own right, for the billions of men alive today who have no clue how to behave in public or private situations.

Drawing from literally thousands of his countless private journals and personal scribblings, author Sir Gentleman Brock LaBorde, Esquire, this century?s self-proclaimed Master of Social Etiquette, painstakingly outlines his complex and erroneous guidelines for the impossible attainment of the ambiguous title of ?gentleman?.

Impolitely smearing the footsteps left by previous well-respected etiquette gurus, Gentleman Brock pompously dissects all aspects of a modern gentleman?s life, including:

  • Knowing when to mutilate yourself
  • The proper way to burp the Pope
  • Inviting yourself to parties
  • Extreme handkerchief maintenance
  • Dispensing needless advice to strangers

The Semi-Complete Guide to Sort of Being a Gentleman is valuable for any man who wishes to learn how not to act in his everyday life. It is also valuable because a certain amount of paper, money, paper money, and other resources were used to print and distribute this book.

This is just excellent!

I recommend this book for gentlemen and ladies. A real treat for the eyes and medicine for the brain.

Humor that's not funny

I tried hard to enjoy the satirical element of this book, but it's just not funny.

Bereft of utilty ...

Having perused the reviews, I thought it might be at least a modestly useful guide toward gentlemanly behaviors. I was wrong. It's complete satire, nothing more. And that satire is akin to watching a cat, who obviously just read this book, listlessly paw at a ball of yarn.

...but I decided to naughtily peruse the words of Sir Gentleman Brock LaBorde, Esquire

As a lady I have no business in reading the contents of the Semi-Complete Guide to Sort of Being a Gentleman, but I decided to naughtily peruse the words of Sir Gentleman Brock LaBorde, Esquire. I find this text to be witty and brilliant- with a gentle dose of dark humor. Each sentence is a wild...

The Semi-Complete Guise to Sort of Being a Gentleman

Terrible book that must have been written as a poor joke. Amazon and every similar retailer should remove this book from the shelves. It does not even rank one star although this review could not be provided without a minimum one star ranking.

The pinnacle of contemporary Self Help.

Okay. This book! Phew! Wow! What should I say? I'll start from the beginning......I met Brock LaBorde in 1999 while waiting for the Gap on highland road in Baton Rouge to open. The summer clothes were put on the clearance rack overnight and news spread through town like SARS in Toronto. By...

Strange, yet satisfying

It was good. The morality of the Bible is secondary to the narrative revelation of God. In any event its morality is not adhered to by anyone, so it would be well worth reading and living. I prefer Nobles and Barn to the Jungle people.
