August’s quote of the month is from American comedian and actor Buddy Hackett. He began his career by performing in nightclubs in the Catskills Borscht Belt resorts. He then performed in the Broadway show ‘Lunatics & Lovers’. His Broadway performances caught the attention of TV producer Max Liebman who cast Hackett in two television specials.

Tucker Max is an American author and public speaker. He chronicles his drinking and sexual encounters on his personal website. He wrote a New York Times bestseller entitled ‘I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell’ and has made the list from 2006-2011. The book was turned into a feature film of the same name but received generally negative reviews from viewers and critics alike. After the success of the first book, Tucker went on to write three more books that have sold considerably well.
