5.0 out of 5 stars Not just fun, but good for your health too!, August 12, 2003

This review is from: W. C. Privy's Original Bathroom Companion (Paperback)

This book is a really fun and interesting read. I have learned all kinds of useful and useless facts, and possibly some lies as well. For instance: How to avoid a tiger attack, famous people that hate cats, and where the lemming suicide myth started.

I've given it to several friends as a gift and they have all loved it too.

And best of all, I am eating more fiber these days just to give myself more chances to read the Bathroom Companion!

Love this book. My wife loved this book. My kids fight over this book. Thank god there are two editions.

The big problem with this book is that there aren't enough spare TP sheets in the back. I guess it's a good thing we read it all over the house.

I don't read in the bathroom, but that didn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying this book. Lots of trivia and fun facts for cocktail party or water cooler chatter.
