"We all know Drew Carey from his award-winning stand-up career and his hit television show, but do we really know Drew Carey, the person? In his first book, the bawdy and irreverent Dirty Jokes and Beer: Stories of the Unrefined, find out about all the many sides of this misunderstood Hollywood star. The Environmentally Sensitive Drew: " .what the hell does it mean, "Save the Planet?" Save what planet? How? Who? Why? What will it cost me? Save the Planet. Scramble the eggs. Burn the toast. The Health-Conscious Drew: They say that exercise and proper diet are the keys to a longer, healthier life. Oh well . Watch for my next book, How I Died While Jogging. Drew the Lover: I read the "Forum" letters in Penthouse, hoping I could learn from them. I remember thinking sometimes when I was having sex, "Let's see now. How did 'Surprised in Cincinnati' do it?" . If a Playboy Playmate said in her questionnaire that she liked a guy in tight pants, I would go out and buy some tight pants. If she said she liked well-endowed men with big muscles and hairy chests, I would cry. Drew's formula that took him from a lonely teenage to a successful mega-star: .avoid cheap cologne and cheesy bikini underwear. Don't expect sex on the first date, and never pay more than twenty dollars for a lap dance. There's even a bonus chapter with 101 punch lines like these (guess what it's about!): It has casters. It votes. Henry Aaron used it to hit his 750th home run. Also, early reviews of his hit sitcom: Schulman also gave "Drew Carey" a thumbs down. "He's not an acceptable lead .He will not carry that show." And never-before-revealed notes about his show from the network censor: November 8, 1996. Page 27 - The dialogue exchange including Oswald's line, "Five bucks to whoever can cut the cheese on Santa" will not be acceptable. The action of Santa grabbing his crotch will also be unacceptable. All this, plus a selection of stories that Drew calls ". kind of a Drew Carey in The Fourth Dimension [but] still close enough to the real Drew to scare me." We've let Drew Carey write this book entirely by himself, without the aid of a professional ghostwriter, even though Drew has never written a book before and was kicked out of college twice." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
