How to chat someone up at a funeral - Mark Leigh

A humorous guide to etiquette in more than 60 totally awkward social situations

Most etiquette guides will tell you the proper way to eat asparagus orthe correct way to address a dignitary-but they fail abysmally when it comes to offering advice on any number of awkward social situations. Containing guidance and tips for dealing with more than 60 such scenarios, this book is completelynon-judgemental. How (and why) you might find yourself in any of these circumstances is immaterial; the book is concerned with presenting the best way to conduct yourself so you leave the situation with your dignity (and sometimes your life) intact. Modern dilemmas covered include challenging a co-worker to a duel, disposing of a dead body, assuming someone's pregnant when they are not, inadvertently farting in the presence of the Queen of England, anddisarming an axe-wielding maniac.
