Book Overview

Did you know that James Joyce liked to smell his wife's farts? That some fish communicate by expelling gas? Or that the Pentagon is developing weapons of mass olfactory destruction (WMOD)? That's just a whiff of what's in store in this breathtaking follow-up to the best-selling fart history, WHO CUT THE CHEESE?

In BLAME IT ON THE DOG, eminent fartologist Jim Dawson sniffs out the latest and greatest new items of the past century, from flatulent...

This book doesn't stink!!!

This book is very funny. If you're like me and think that farts are hilarious then this book is definitely for you! This is just a fun book. Good for a laugh or two. I think it's about time someone had the guts to write about something we all do. Some more than others, but admit it they are funny when in the right crowd sometimes funnier in the wrong!!!

Blame It on the Dog: A Modern History of the Fart

Fun book to share with friends around a campfire or party or just sitting around!

A Very Funny Sequel to Who Cut the Cheese.

Jim Dawson, author of Who Cut the Cheese?, has done it again. This book is hilarious and covers a sometimes taboo subject, namely expelled colon gases. Everybody does it, but we don't usually discuss it in polite society. This is a laugh out loud book in places and even discusses the personal habits of celebrities, such as Stephen King and Johnny Depp. This is a good sequel to Mark Twain's fantasy about Queen Elizabeth I, as she plays 'who pooted?' with some of her court officials. It could make a good Christmas gift for your more liberal friends with a sense of humor, just don't share it with your minister or mother-in-law.

Dawson blasts us again!

After experiencing the sweet smell of success from his previous book on flatulence, "Who Cut the Cheese: A Cultural History of the Fart," crepitus king Jim Dawson has cut loose again with a sequel that manages at the same time to be hilarious and scholarly. Dawson's good-natured tone also keeps "Blame it on the Dog" away from being a bathroom book in questionable or sophomoric taste. If you think that Dawson wrote in his first book everything known about flatulence, think again. You'll read about a modern-day Le Petomane (read the first book if you haven't yet), farting among the famous, farting among the fish, and a canine invention that Dawson is afraid will render invalid his brand-new book--or at least its title. The book is so engaging that, after reading a couple of chapters (like the subject, the chapters pass quickly but their effects linger long after), I picked up the newspaper and read the headline "Spectre of the Future" as "Sphincter of the Future." That concept prevails in the chapter on flatulent robots, but you'll have to read it for yourself. "Blame It on the Dog" and its predecessor will make the perfect combination on your silly shelf--sort of like corned beef and cabbage. As Dawson said, bad taste [and I mean that in a good way] and worse puns prevail throughout. And it's all about flatulence. What more could you want? Warning: Don't eat mushrooms, onions, or beans before reading "Dog," because there is, literally, a laugh on every line, and you will be roaring until you burst. Again, literally.
