Synopsis:

The comedian Danny Paul has a true love and fondness for the area of his origins, a place he simply refers to as "Jersey." This book was written with a lot of love as he attempts to share with the world the unique environment of the Italian American community of his birth. Because of the popularity of the hit TV series, Danny felt a need to explain the distinctive slang that plays an important part in understanding the completely "over the top" humor that is inherent in the dialogue of the show. He also wants you, the reader, to realize that the characters portrayed on the show are an excessive exaggeration of real life, and in no way represent the true heart and soul of the Italian American community of his birth - hard working Americans who raised their children with a lot of love and a unique brand of humor which has permeated the culture far beyond the borders of New Jersey..... Most of all, he wants you to laugh, enjoy and "go get a slice and fuhgeddabowdit."
