Joshua Piven, a resident of Philadelphia, is a computer journalist and freelance writer, and is a former editor at Ziff-Davis Publishing. He has been chased by knife-weilding motorcycle bandits, stuck in subway tunnels, been robbed and mugged, has had to break down doors and pick locks, and his computer crashes regularly. David Borgenicht, a resident of Philadelphia, is a writer and editor who has written several nonfiction books. He has ridden in heavily-armored vehicles in Pakistan, stowed away on Amtrak, been conned by a grifter, broken into several houses (each for good reason), and has ?borrowed? mini-bottles from the drink cart on delta.

Jennifer Worick is an editor and the author of My Dysfunctional Life and My Fabulous Life. She has dated a variety of motley men, including a fellow who was briefly trapped in a cult compound in upstate New York and a boyfriend who went weak in the knees whenever he heard Tears for Fears. She lives in Philadelphia and--at press time--is single.

Whether viewed as a gag read or a lifestyle guide, this presentation fits the bill. Reading with alternating sarcasm and sincerity, the writers help listeners learn to determine if their date is an ax murderer and how to escape if this is the case. Tips include detection methods for con artists, liars, and married people and techniques for fending off pick up artists, dealing with drunks, remembering the name of that one-night stand, and perfecting flirting skills and kiss-off methods. Alternately humorous and practical, the SURVIVAL HANDBOOK veers into the bizarre while having the good sense to pepper that wit such nuggets as how to finagle a reservation, break up and make up with your beloved, and dozens of other gems.
