Customer Reviews

This is classic!

This book is just classic. I think I pulled about 1/2 of these on my college and high school friends, but I had forgotton most of them! Now that I'm reminded, I think I'll go try some on my wife. Won't she be surprised! :) Great book.

Atomic past

I sure remember these as I was growing up and it sure brings back memories. Enjoyed having read this book.

A Perfect Bathroom Reader

This book is destined to be bathroom reading material for generations. It's a really funny take on kick me signs, pink bellies, and a bunch of moves I never knew about before. If you have a brother, this is a perfect gift.

Perfect Cure for Exams and Job-Hunting

I picked this up after a review in the campus newspaper recommended it as a good diversion from cramming for finals. It is not only hysterical, but also very practical. I have already pulled the Loose Lid and Soda Exploda on two of my room mates. What's funny to me is how seriously it is written. I assume (hope!) that the authors are being dry intentionally. Either way, it's already a staple in the common room.

Classic Humor

This book brought me back to my childhood, reliving the pranks my brothers and I indulged in. The 'rating' scale used to determine degrees of difficulty, embarrassment and annoyance levels for each act were great. Beware of the Flour Shower!
