ISHues" is the follow up book to the author's smash conversation
igniter, "Ish." Inspired by pithy, memorable phrases she saw
stenciled on the wall of a department store and her own life
happenings, Griffin began writing the collection of provoking
sayings. Both books are filled with a pinch of dry wit, a dash of
sarcasm and bundles of humor that will prove to be an enjoyable
reading experience for all ages. The book's title begs the
question, "what is 'Ish?" The author defines 'Ish as a random,
eclectic statement intended to provoke action or emotion - whether
amusement, frustration, happiness or angst. 'Ish can also be any
wanton expression or point of view that creates a gust of thought.
From arguably, usable advice to satirical comments, humorous
one-liners and simple nuggets of wisdom, "ISHues - A Second Helping
of Del'Ishcious 'Ish" has plenty of banter to dish. The book picks
up at 'Ish #161, sharing 145 more juicy statements like, 'Ish #176,
"Parting your lips softly during a job interview is not enough to
camouflage your sterling silver tongue ring." 'Ish #263 cautions,
"Liking (not loving) your spouse is the key to great love making."
Another that is sure to influence decision making is 'Ish #285, "If
your therapist is a chain smoker and has involuntary face twitches,
switch seats." Readers will ROTFLAO, STH (shake their heads) and
scream OMG as they gobble up this heaping, second helping of
"ISHues."
