ONE-UPMANSHIP

by Stephen Potter ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 13, 1952

That deceptively devious founder of the cult of confusing and confounding the other fellow blossoms forth in larger splendor as he details the courses of the Lifemanship Correspondence College and describes its superior equipment. Doctor-patient relationships, negative selling in business, and all the Ships of the line (exhibition, litman and gobbel, rally, bird and rod and rock climbing, club, wines and tasting, even to hands across the sea and U.S. manship) are here assembled. Exciting new activities are employed -- de-Blading, the H'm tinge, manglo-relations, the doing of the doing, the potterphon -- and the whole is tasteful embroidery for the basic issues of the art of not, which, with serious application, demands much of the ardent follower. Again the path is tortuous, over and under and through many a mile of (important) footnotes and again, as a reward, those little masterpieces of art by the talented Lt. Col. Frank Wilson. A call to the colors for every true exponent of the fine points of dis-ease.
