Perfect for linguaphiles and lovers of quotes, Ifferisms is a lively compendium of wit, wisdom, and wordplay from Dr. Mardy Grothe, author of I Never Metaphor I Didn't Like, Viva La Repartee, and Oxymoronica. A collection of aphorisms-pithy observations that communicate some kind of truth about the human experience-Ifferisms contains those that begin with "if." From "If life hands you lemons, make lemonade" to "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," the sayings in Ifferisms demonstrate how hypothetical thinking helps people contemplate their lives.
