101 Ways to Torture Your Husband

When we were younger, tickling was our favorite form of torture. This book presents more than 100 hilariously ticklish suggestions on ways to torture your spouse while meekly standing passively on the sidelines. For one, you can hide the remote control; that's the master switch, the lifeline to the frontal lobes of the male ego. Along that line, you can gleefully drink his last beer, or mess up his computer, or even send some suspicious e-mails. These are just some of the lighter torments that you can inflict; others described here are so deliciously horrible that you may place yourself at risk for retribution. Maria Garcia-Kalb, a New York broadcaster, has compiled a wickedly impish set of recipes to keep the male companion housebroken, docile, or exasperated and explosive. Because of the possible male reaction, each tactic is assigned a risk factor. Under mental torture with a low risk factor of 1 (on a scale of 1 to 5), convince him that he has some exotic illness. Going to a higher risk factor of 4 under physical torture, bribe him with sex....but don't pay up. If you really want to test the waters at a quick high risk torture, watch him squirm while you cause a scene in public. You can sabotage his recliner on football day, mess up his grill during barbecues, play with the bald pate while admiring the hairy he-men....so many devious devices to expose the Y-chromosome's weaknesses. For the woman, I'd prescribe at least one torture per day, in place of the omega-3 supplement or tranquilizer. Remember that laughter is the best medicine and the chuckles provoked by the directions in this marvelously funny do it yourself at home manual are priceless. Share the stories along with the reactions to the various recipes tried with colleagues and have a good giggle over the ploys that women employ to maintain their command over the "stronger" sex. While the content is rich in whimsical advice, unfortunately the book paper quality is low grade and the soft book binding is liable to crumble after a few uses. I guess these are the drawbacks that accompany low prices. Reviewed by Rita Hoots

Man-bashing without the drama

This book is seriously hilarious! I'm talking you might laugh until you cry. The author writes like a cool best friend dishing on some dirty little secret. 101 Ways to Torture Your Husband is pretty much lighthearted man-bashing without the hard-line psychotherapy. It kind of gives you permission to "hate" your husband without really HATING your husband. A great stocking stuffer now that it's the holidays...also should become a classic standard at bridal showers and bachelorette parties!!!

I couldn't & wouldn't put this book down!

I seriously have not had this much fun reading a book in a long time! From the first page to the last I did not stop laughing. Great fun ideas on how to simply mess with your significant other! My personal favorite was #35! Buy it for yourself or as a gift and then pick your own favorite form of torture.......

What a great book, and some fabulous ideas

Wow, there are some amazingly crafty ideas in this book, I laughed, cracked up, and even thought of doing it to him. LOL. I love some of the fun suggestions and the factoids are very informative. I highly recommend this to all the ladies who want to keep her man on his toes : )

I laughed so hard...while reading parts of it to my husband!

I got this in the mail and decided to just page through it. After I read the introduction and started on chapter one, I couldn't put it down. I was laughing so hard I had to share...ever just need to share the funny? I had to...with my husband! Even he had to (grudgingly) admit that the torture was funny. This is a great book for wives or girlfriends, for that matter! Why wait 'till the wedding to become well versed in the amusing art of torture? Pay attention to the risk indicators, though...the level 5's might get you in trouble...hee hee hee! GO TEAM TORTURE!
