One man's very funny perspective on working in the male-dominated environment of the oil fields. It made me laugh out loud in places, (eg that episode with the monkey on the ceiling fan!) and in others he glossed over some very serious accidents, but it was never dull.
Definitely not literature, but is a contender for best book title ever, in my opinion.

I really liked the tales told by Paul Carter in his memoir of working on oil rigs, but I felt that the book could have used some more editing. It was informative, interesting, and amusing, however, so I am still glad I read it.
