A cynic is a person who upon smelling flowers, looks for a casket. Such is the nature of good natured cynicism. Irritably enlightened people, whose eyesight has been sharpened through exposure to reality, have sought the humor behind this odd thing we call life. Acerbic wit guides the cynic past the cliffs of disappointment because he is disappointed in advance. This doubters’ dictionary lets you deal with the dysfunctional world one tart thought at a time. Keep this reference book handy because you can never be too cynical ... there simply isn’t enough time.
