5.0 out of 5 stars I laughed so hard I scared people on the subway, September 13, 2007

This review is from: National Lampoon Balls! (Paperback)

It's kind of embarassing, I laughed really hard on the subway while reading it that I think I must've raised the terror alert or something. People thought I was a danger to them...but really it's just a funny book. I think I'm going to give it out as a gift to a few sports fans in my family - definitely something they'll appreciate.
