Uncle John's All-Purpose Extra Strength Bathroom Reader

by Bathroom Readers' Institute

Overview

Why is our lucky 13th edition All-Purpose? Uncle John himself explains: “You can read this Bathroom Reader anywhere--in the obvious spot, in bed or, heck, by the pool or at work.” Why Extra-Strength? “Because of the mountains of research gathered, you can guess where, by our crackpot . . . I mean hotshot . . . staff.” Yes, APES (as we affectionately call it at the BRI) is filled to the rim with more than 500 pages of amazing facts, quotes, history, myths, brain teasers, origins, celebrity gossip, and our powerful brand of “uncanny” humor. Here are 13 reasons to read this book:

1. Triskaidekaphobia, the fear of ten plus three
2. Military surplus: The story of carrot cake
3. The real-life inspiration behind Dracula
4. Going Ape: The history of Tarzan
5. People who married themselves
6. Politically incorrect toothpaste
7. Legendary business blunders
8. Hollywood’s biggest bombs
9. Wide world of weird sports
10. Dog food for thought
11. The birth of the CD
12. Dumb criminals
13. Zappa’s Law
And much, much more!
