Hardly laugh at anything in this book. These kinds of jokes lose its humor when written down.

On second thoughts, read Mark's review and feel guilty because "they are being offered to us not as witty and amusing and clever things people have said but just feedi...

My kinda humour. Laughed to myself almost throughout the book. Some stuff people say really is too funny. On a side note, some of these situations would make for rather interesting breaching experiments. Not sure if it's available locally; if not, I recommend ordering it from The Book Depository, li...

I found out about this book through the Goodreads 2012 awards and I'm so glad I did!It was a really quick read with a few priceless comments that made me LOL in public, and I'm not even exaggerating.
