...Zippergate burnout? Then read--in fact, buy--this brisk, witty, cheerfully dour screed by Shearer, the radio host (Le Show), protean voice (The Simpsons) and hidden national treasure of political common sense.

Most girls condemn The Rules openly but believe secretly that something will happen if they never make eye contact with a particular guy, instead intimating that they're smiling at the world in general. The Rules are pretty easy to follow correctly, but they only work if some response is illicited. What's the use of always looking good, taking care to ensure that...
