Humor

Mercer University Press

This is a hardcover book published with a dust jacket in 1985 by Mercer University Press. Money, Power and Sex (A self-help guide for all ages) was written by a Georgia native Bob Steed, a former partner and bond attorney with King and Spaulding, He was once described as "half lawyer, half wit. His law partners insist he's a writer, and his writer friends insist he's a lawyer." The book was illustrated by Jack Davis who also contributed to Mad Magazine. This is Steed's third book, in which Steed asks and answers such questions as: "Is Boy George living proof of the rumor that Phyllis Diller and Tiny Tim were more than just friends? What do women really want? Should the Democrats have nominated Fred McMurray in 1984?"

Money, Power, and Sex: A Self-Help Guide for All Ages

Mercer Univ Pr

Former United States Attorney General Griffin Bell, a partner with Robert L. Steed in the prestigious Atlanta law firm of King &amp; Spalding, once described Steed as "half lawyer, half wit. His law partners insist he's a writer, and his writer friends insist he's a lawyer." In fact, Steed built an enviable career in both fields. A graduate of Mercer Law School, Steed became one of the nation s leading bond attorneys during an era of rapid economic development. All the while he wrote humorous essays that were published in the Atlanta Constitution and collected into books; his barbs were targeted at the vainglorious in politics, entertainment, and society, always imploring them, "Don't take yourself so damn serious." That attitude also served Steed well as a member of the Mercer University Board of Trustees from 1974 till the present. His insight, humor, and love of Mercer helped him to guide the university, as chairman of the Board, through some tempestuous times. Long-time Mercer President Dr. Kirby Godsey said, "I can honestly say that Mercer never had a more loyal alumnus than Bob Steed." Greatness often sprouts from modest roots, and such was the case with Steed. Shared here for the first time is the story behind the persona--the family, wife, wit, and commitment that coalesced to form an extraordinary scholar, writer, and philanthropist.

For those who have wondered why Bob Steed's contributions to journalism have never moved beyond his semi-regular columns for the Atlanta Journal and Constitution, wonder no more. He can't write columns any more often than he does because he's too busy writing letters, and this collection proves that they're every bit as funny as his columns.

Mail Fraud: The Laughable Letters of Robert L. Steed

Robert L. Steed is a generous man. Although he is personal guardian to a virtual mother lode of opinions - both informed and uninformed - he is always quick to share them with anyone in need. That is, with anyone in need of a good laugh from one of America's quirkiest and most inquiring minds. With verve and vigor (not to be confused with the centerfold twins of the same names), Steed offers a hilarious diagnosis of the current social and cultural condition. No one (except paying clients) is spared his acerbic barbs in A Ship Without an Udder, especially the overindulgent and overserious.
