Rurally Screwed’s Book of the Month

Getting It Through My Thick Skull:  Why I Stayed, What I Learned, and What Millions of People Involved with Sociopaths Need to Know by Mary Jo Buttafuoco

Getting It Through My Thick Skull!

I’ll say she got it through her thick skull!

She got it like a bullet in the face!

Which, as we all know from watching the Lifetime movie about this sordid episode from way, way back in the early 90s, is exactly what happened. That was the day the infamous ‘Long Island Lolita,’ 17-year old Amy Fisher fired a bullet into Mary Jo’s mug on her own front porch.

Why are we graced with the chance to read about Mary Jo’s side of the story now? I wonder if it’s because somebody is having trouble making her mortgage payments?

Oh, and just in case you’re wondering, the sociopath in the title refers not to Amy Fisher—who after 7 years behind bars went on to a successful career as a stripper (coming to a Senor Frogs near you!)—but her husband Joey Buttafuoco.  The last thing I heard about Joey Buttafuoco was when he knocked out the female wrestler Chyna in a televised celebrity wrestling match for Fox.

That, kids, is quality.

I plan to devour this book.
