10. I like a lot of things about Rivers. You gotta hand it to her, what she's done with her career...

when everything was stacked against her. She started out when there were no female comedians, just about. She's tough and persistent, and constantly reinvents herself, and lands on her feet. A survivor.

But in this instance, it was not carried (or banned) from Costco because of the foul language ON THE BACK COVER. They have a rule, I guess, where they don't accept books with bad language that is easily seen by the public....on the cover. A legitimate rule for a business that sells to families.

I wonder if Sam's is carrying her book?
