Book Description

September 15, 1995
Find out how you fit into the American norm...

From sea to shining sea, Americans are remarkably alike, incredibly different, and just plain strange. In this clever, fun and fascinating peek into the private lives of real Americans, columnist Bernice Kanner shares a delicious slice of American pie with humorous facts like:

-Of the half of us who have pets at home, 45.5% allow them in the room during sex
-One out of every four ice cream orders is vanilla; only one in nine is for chocolate
-Four out of ten of us admit we've been so mad we've hurled footwear at another person
-60% of men spit in public
-One in ten people say they have seen a ghost
-Almost one quarter of us regularly check ourselves out in store windows and mirrors
-7 out of 100 Americans have flossed their teeth with their hair
-Over 27% of people skip ahead to find out what will happen in a book before they finish it

Now you can join the fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny Conversation Starter, May 13, 2001
This review is from: Are You Normal?: Do You Behave Like Everyone Else? (Paperback)
Me and a bunch of my friends sat outside and laughed at this book. We would answer the questions and see how we compared. We learned alot about each other and had a great time. We would get funny looks we were laughing so hard but hey we had a great time with this one. It is a good book and recommended as a party book. Don't worry too much if your answers don't match the books though, some of mine didn't.
