Humor With a Practical Punch



Jim Watkins’ ten most valuable lessons in dealing with life’s lemons:

10. Don’t confuse them with hand grenades (Identify the problem).

9. Check the delivery slip (Determine if it’s your problem).

8. Sell them on eBay (Profit from the problem).

7. Paint smiley faces on them (Laugh at the problem).

6. Join a citrus support group (Share your problem).

5. Use as an all-natural, organic astringent (Grow from the problem).

4. Don’t shoot the delivery driver (Forgive the problem-maker).

3. Graft to a lime tree for a refreshing, low-calorie soft drink (Take the problem to a higher level).

2. Grow your own orchard (Live a fruitful life despite—or because of—the problem).

1. Give off a refreshing fragrance (Live a lemon-fresh life).



Jim Watkins’, Squeezing Good Out of Bad is written by one who has been through the juice mill once or twice himself. While the book is authoritative, as one who has experienced the pain of the squeeze, the book is also humorous—exemplifying one of Jim’s top ten treatments when life gives you lemons—paint smiley faces on them (chapter seven).



Squeezing Good out of Bad is not only authoritative and humorous but practical, providing information and education on such items as how and where to seek help when the squeeze has completely zapped your ability to cope. A must read for anyone who has problems. That pretty much includes everyone.
