SECTION 4: BOOMERS RELATED BOOK REVIEWS!
PRESS RELEASE
MMS No Laughing Matter
MMS - Male Menopause Syndromes is descripbed in a new book titled
"MMS - No laughing Matter" by author and sufferer - Dave Block.
MMM is actually a male verson of the "change" that until
now has been associated with the opposite sex.
Millions of middle-aged men have the syndromes of this
curious affliction which included attraction to younger
women, older cars and bigger boats, day-dreaming, seeking
new careers, fixation with remote controls and much more.
This new book hilarous documents in full color, an
explanation (or excuse) for the middle-aged men's behaviour
that has previously been dismissed of as plain weird.
MMS is required reading for middle-aged men and certainly
for anyone that try to figure him out.
It's Facts, It's Fiction, It's Funny.
