He can't. He's not that deep. Because a guy has only three basic needs: eating, sleeping, and sex.

Far from a superhero, Bill Engvall is an everyday Everyman, the poster boy for normal. The result is just a guy who is disarming, perceptive, wildly funny, and unexpectedly moving. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe sensitive parts of the book...truly stand out.--\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBottom line: if you like Blue Collar TV or are just looking for some good comedy, this is a great book to pick up.--\u003ci\u003eBlogcritics.org\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBILL ENGVALL is one of America's top-selling comedians.
