They are humans whose very appearance and especially their actions make you believe that they are more like animals than rational people," writes author William Lex Coplen. Among the beasties can be count the Sloth, a graduate of "one of those big-name Eastern schools that claim to educate you but teach you nothing practical"; the Shark, that "coldly efficient predator" and back stabber of his fellow coworkers; and the Hyena, "the silent follower of all leaders who never does anything unless pushed into it." A HUMOROUS collection of prose and postry, the book offers readers a warrning abou tth enature of the enemy that is subtly undermining our very sway of life and "call to arms" to laugh this deadly menace out of existence, for Beasties, it is well known, have not sense of humor.
