The Book of Piles: An Intimate Inspection of the Nether Regions

By Trevor Hughes

Did you know that Britain was saved by piles not once but twice? That piles played a part in the formation of the Protestant Church, were instrumental in some of our great music and literature, helped Gary Cooper win an Oscar and set back the advance of Communism by several years? Piles have been around for centuries: the Aztecs had them, the ancient Greeks and Romans. So did many famous people, some of whom appear, unhappily I'm sure in these pages.
Here are recorded the Curing Haemorrhoids Sutra, the application of goose grease, electric shock treatment, leeches and many other ancient attempts at a cure.
In this learned study you will discover the Babylonian penalty for the offence of being a bad wife; the only church in the world where you may safely drop your trousers; the patron saint of alcoholics; selection procedures for becoming one of Catherine the Great's lovers; the real reasons for the invention of Corn Flakes; the location of the world's largest recorded turd; why a man in Hong Kong had a live eel up his bottom and much, much more.
So pour yourself a nice scotch or a large glass of wine and settle back (carefully if need be) to discover all those fascinating facts about the bottom which you always wanted to know but were simply too afraid to ask.
