Not Just For The Bathroom

These "Bathroom" books are great anywhere. Read them anywhere you like. You never knew so much stuff existed.

More Bathroom Humor

All that time wasted sitting on the john. If only there was something good to read....This sequel to the hugely successful "Bathroom Reader" contains more of the same useless, but interesting, trivia and facts on just about every imaginable subject. From debunking rumors (like "Dr. Pepper's secret ingredient is prune juice) to explaining how Alfred Hitchcock shot that famous shower scene, you won't want to put this book down even after you've finished your business.

CRAP-TACULAR!

Uncle John's Second Bathroom Reader is a great book when #2 is really on your mind. From cover to cover this book has tons of: trivia, answers to the inane, and things that you've probably heard before but forgot all about it.Anyone who has any allusions of trying to get on a TV trivia show (like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire) will definately want to familiarize themself with the writings of Uncle John. It's helped me expand my knowledge base greatly. I've also loved books like "5087 Trivia Questions and Answers" and "American Trivia", but Uncle John managed to keep me laughing while filling my head with facts. Frankly, I didn't want to leave the bathroom.Some little ditties you'll find in this volume...Thomas Crapper, Myth or Hero! Strange Lawsuits!! Churchill Speaks!!! Tales of 60's TV!!!! Common Phrases!!!!! The Gumby Story!!!!!! The Nut Behind Grape-Nuts!!!!!!! AND MUCH MUCH MORE...I loved this book and my advice...No outhouse is complete without it!
