Born Pasquale Caputo, the legendary comedian didn't appear on the show business radar until age thirty-two. But from that moment in 1963, when the young smart-mouthed Brooklynite was beamed into millions of homes via the \u003ci\u003eJackie Gleason Show,\u003c\/i\u003e people throughout the country knew that they were watching something special. His brash, irreverent, and undeniably hilarious views of what is happening around him have always been honest, unyielding, and colored by his \"comedic anger.\" And now, in \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHow Dare You Say How Dare Me!\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, he shares the amazing, offbeat story of his life.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In his unique no-holds-barred style, Cooper begins his story at the beginning--as a child growing up under the strict hand of Italian immigrant parents. He shares memorable, typically comical moments from his youth, including the loss of his virginity to a middle-aged yenta, and his efforts to join the military at age seventeen--only to be kicked out for having hammerhead toes! A seventh-generation bricklayer by trade, Pat recounts performing his stand-up routine in small clubs and theaters at night--until he got his big break into the big time. From that point on, Pat pulls no punches in relating story after story of his life as a top entertainer, including the good, the bad, and the side-splitting! From Las Vegas to Atlantic City and everywhere in between, it's all here.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Every bit as brash, irreverent, and hilarious as ever, Pat Cooper proves in this very frank memoir that one \u003ci\u003ecan\u003c\/i\u003e succeed in show business without being phony--just as long as you learn to duck, and you're not too surprised when you're fired. (Hey, one door closes and another opens.)
