This is a wonderful idea! I hope there is a Part 2 coming up?SAY YES! I laughed until I wet myself! I admire anyone that can just look around and find humor in everything. Fantastic! I would have gave the book a 10 but they made me stop at 5. :( To the guy that rated this book a 1.
Sadly, some people have no sense of humor. You're really missing out on life. I must say, as I read through what you had written, I got the sense that you may have some kind of a vendeta. Perhaps I'm way out on a limb here but we are all entitled to our opinions. *winks* I'm sorry you didn't make fame whoever you are. I did hear that charmin was lookin for a spokes person. I'll put in a good word for ya. *GIGGLES*
LOOKIN FORWARD TO THE NEXT BOOKS TED!

This is a fun little book that is cleverly designed in the shape of its subject. It will definitely make you laugh and will give you tons of ideas for creating your own license plate, IM handle, or even email address. It is well worth the price!
