This book originally came out during the running craze of the late 70's. The title was intended as a parody of the book "The Complete Runner," which was popular at the time. Like Dilbert, it's a light hearted send up of all those mentally challenged folks we meet day to day, who clutter up our lives. It's full of short anecdotes and observations we can all relate to. If you're looking for something deep and meaningful in this book, however, you may want to check to be sure you're not sporting tail feathers and drumsticks.All in all, it's a very short, light hearted and enjoyable read. If you can find it, you won't be disappointed.

Brilliant and Lighthearted

Those cool critters and Sandra's sparkling wit make this one of my favorite books of all time. I've run into every one of the turkey prototypes during my life. Brilliant.
