An incredibly funny collection

Why is it that the funniest things in life are unintentional? This book proves beyond a doubt that the funniest things are either unintentional or an accident. Man Suffocated by Potatoes is a collection of news stories and headline clippings, all of which are funny, bizzare, misinterpreted, or all three. Theres something here for everyone. From religion (Jesus appearing in a tortilla), to strange books ("The care and feeding of stuffed animals"), to everyone's favorite, flubbed headlines ("Carnivorous plants talk at Broadmoor"). There's so many funny stories and tidbits contined within that it took me a long time to read through it (There are two hundred eight four pages if you're curious). A good amount of these stories do have a morbid theme, such as death, accidents, etc, so be careful. But I gaurante that all of the stories within are fascinating to read. A worthy buy that will give you lots of enjoyment.

An excellent, humorous romp.

William Marsano has collected an amazing array of humorous newspaper accounts. From the woman who really wanted to rid her trailer of cockroaches, to the man who died beneath an avalanche of potatoes. If you enjoy dark humor, this collection is for you. Try your best to track down this book.
