A great resource

I've had this book for over 20 years. I can read it everyday and find new things.

Side splitting stories from real newspapers.

I first got interested in buying this book because of the column appearing in a local newspaper. It was a compilation of weird stories from around the world. I bought the book and loved it. The stories are short and so the book is great to read a little at a time or in long sittings. Some of the stories are so funny I had a hard time breathing from laughing so hard. The people on the bus I take to work thought I was crazy. Get this book!
