Does anyone else have this book? It's hilarious! I absolutely love it, and everyone must have one. If I had thousands of dollars, I would buy each of you one for Christmas...but alas.

I opened it to a random page in the bookstore, and got to read their version of the American court system. Good stuff.

Posted: 12/20/04 at 4:47pmI LOVE it. It's hilarious. I particularly love the footnotes. On one of the pages when it says "checks and ____" and then has a footnote, and in the footnote it says something like "if you can't fill in the blank with the word "balance" by now, you are clinically retarted." And I love Samantha Bee's "would you mind if I told you how we do it in Canada?" segments. Good stuff.

Why do we run our fingers through the flame?
Why do we leave our hands on the stove, although we know we're in for some pain?

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell
