Lambasting bureaucracy and jargon, this satirical book is a significantly revised version of An Alien in a Madhouse. Like its predecessor, it pokes fun at officialdom, officialese, political correctness gone mad and the vagaries of office life. It also ponders some of the usage booby-traps strewn across English, detonating a few of them with irreverent jocularity. This is why the book can also be seen as a reference source addressing several troublesome points of grammar, punctuation and spelling Ð albeit humorously.
