Default Bathroom Reader -- 10/10

Hey Folks...

I've been an avid Bathroom Reader for quite some time now, and thought I'd share it with those that don't know of it..

Basically, its a book you keep on the pooper for those #2 times...

There are tonnes of them out, and basically what they are are huge books that contain everything from short to long stories and history blurbs. Every page has a little one liner at the bottom that will fill you with useless information for years to come. Most of the material is presented in an easy read way, and includes stupid criminals, history of the U-Boat, word origins, world of weird sports etc....

Random passage:

Oops:

Friends in Low Places.

"As he pulled his car into the Yankee Stadium VIP parking lot, a driver claimed to be a friend of Yankee owner George Steinbrenner. He didn't realize the parking-lot attendant was Steinbrenner. 'He looked at me, and said, "Guess I've got the wrong lot,'" said Steinbrenner, who had decided to personally investigate traffic problems at the stadium."

Bottom of page:

Lonley parrots can go insane.

-------------------------------------------------

Anyway, thought those who need a quick fairly inexpensive gift idea could go with this, because I love christmas because I get about 3, and they tend to last most of the year...

Other BRI readers will concur, I'm sure !!!!

Great reading. I've had a few of them in my lifetime and can attest to their awesomeness.

Now cue the comments about how gross it is to sit there reading for extended periods of time in your own stink.
