He is the author of "Semi Tough" (pronounced sem'-eye, about pro football players)", "Dead Solid Perfect (golfers and golf tour)", "Limo" (Madison Avenue advertising executives), and "Baja Oklahoma" (Reflections on growing up in Texas). Generally, the "10" scale for rating the sexual desirability of various members of the opposite sex was first written and cataloged in "Semi Tough". The memorable first line of "Limo" was, "It was a rainy night in Barcelona and all of the good whores had the summer flu." Most recently (A newer book will be released within 1984), in the book "Baja Oklahoma", Jenkins has given us a new scale relating to the levels of drunkenness as they occur in mankind (and womankind). And I quote: "Mankind's Ten Stages of Drunkenness" 0). A Zero is sober 1). Witty and Charming 2). Rich and Powerful 3). Benevolent 4). Clairvoyant 5). Fuck Dinner 6). Patriotic *7). Crank Up the Enola Gay 8). Witty and Charming, Part II 9). Invisible 10). Bulletproof * For the non-trivia buffs, the Enola Gay was the name of the B-25 plane used to drop the "A-bombs" on the Japanese at the end of World War II.
