The satirical newspaper The Onion on Friday will release “The President of Vice: The Autobiography of Joe Biden,” an e-book written in the voice of the vice president, the New York Times reported.

The Times detailed an excerpt from the e-book’s introduction:

“Hombre, you’ve just done Uncle Joe a real solid buying this book,” begins the foreword to a new autobiography attributed to Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. “I ain’t the kind of guy who forgets his debts. Next time we meet there’s a tallboy of ice cold Beast on me. And if you’re a lady, I know a few tricks to repay you with interest, if you catch my drift.”

In January 2011, Biden said The Onion’s parodies of him are “hilarious.” A few of the paper’s Biden headlines include: “Joe Biden Shows Up To Inauguration With Ponytail” and “Biden Invites Nation’s Women To Tax Code Discussion At Private Mountain Chalet.”
