description: Dressing For The Salad Days contains 43 columns which were originally written for The Daily Free Press at Boston University. Weighart lambastes Yuppie love with a Penthouse Forum parody; he satirically swoons with a prose-poetry love letter written for a Boston University princess. Combining classical thought with the absurdity of modern culture, he dares to ask such questions as "Is God Like Dennis the Menace?" and takes us on a guided tour of Hell, where the most popular game show is "Wheel of Misfortune." In another twist of humor and sensitivity, he describes a hysterical -- in both senses of the word -- first day as a kindergarten teacher in "Mr. Why Goes Back to School." Absurd yet touching, hilarious yet insightful, Dressing For The Salad Days offers many hours of delightful reading and re-reading.
