...i read this book at chapters and ended up crying i was laughing so hard. my boyfriend found this much more amusing than the book itself. To get the full effect it must be read out loud.

I recommend reciting pages at random in the office. This is sure to break some of that good 'ole day to day tension and monotony.

Runny Babbit. so ridiculous you wish you didn't find it funny, but its funny.
