Product Description

The best travel stories often hatch when things go completely wrong, and this second title in a series of women's travel humor capitalizes on that phenomenon with more sidesplitting stories of female misadventure around the world. Readers laugh, cry, and commiserate with these women through their memorable mishaps such as gorging on Lebanese chicken to increase their breast size, battling tick paranoia in an Ozark campground, evading the demands of the Turkish mafia, getting even with a prank-fueled convention co-worker, and trolling for straight men in gay London. Showcasing every known type of travel blunder, botch, stumble, and bumble, these rollicking stories come from all reaches of the globe and are told from a quintessentially female point of view.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some amusing anecdotes, January 31, 2005
By Amy Krug "amykk25" (Centerville, OH United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Some of the stories in this collection are pretty amusing, especially the ones that stick to brevity to relay their humor. Some, however, drag on a little, and a few could have benefited from some revising. And some just made me downright uncomfortable - especially the little story about the woman who gets a giant cockroach stuck in her ear (I guess it's a testament to good writing that it made me skeevy for a few days, thinking about a bug scrabbling away in there!).

All told, though, I enjoyed the book as a little piece of enjoyable quick-reading and would probably pick up another book in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not that funny, December 16, 2005
There was only 1 story that actually got me to chuckle. The rest just didn't strike my funny bone but they were interesting to read about. If you like reading travel adventures...this is a good book to pick up. Funny women....not even close.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some Outrageous Tales!, December 11, 2004
Editor Jennifer L. Leo has compiled some strange tales as narrated by thirty -one women who have experienced outrageous travel mishaps.
Whose Panties Are These? More Misadventures From Funny Women On The Road's essays are sprawling with all kinds of unusual and sometimes hilarious happenings.

There is the tale of Barbara H. Shaw, who prior to her tour bus taking off for the pyramids at Cobà, advises the bus driver that she must use the bathroom.
As she explains, it is very common that there are no toilet seats and thus she is forced to stand up on the rim. Unfortunately, the toilet bowl was not fastened to the floor. I will leave the rest of the tale to your imagination!

We have all heard the expression you have "ants in your pants." Generally, this is taken to mean someone who is impatient. However, in the case of Jennica Peterson, who traveled to Paraguay, she had the ill luck of having large ants creep up her legs.

Suppose you have to explain to a pharmacist in Holland that you want some preparation H or some other remedy for your haemorrhoids. What do you do when the pharmacist does not understand English and has no idea of what you are requesting? Suzanne Lafetra informs us of her painful ordeal, when the pharmacist was convinced that all she really wanted were condoms.

It seems that in Korea the salutation, "Hello, How are you?" can't be translated. Evidently, the actual greeting is "Hello, Have you eaten your dinner?"
You can well envisage when Melissa H.M. Valks responded to several respective Korean men that she had not eaten and subsequently she was invited out for dinner.
This sudden wave of popularity had gone to her head, until it was explained to her that it would be ill mannered of her to say she had not eaten. Furthermore, the men posing the query bore the obligation of taking her out for dinner, according to Korean etiquette.

According to the editor, this book of essays endeavours to go beyond the ordinary been-there-done-that stories- rather focusing on the outrageous.
The book might have been more effective if some of the tales had been left out. They were tiresome to read and I had the impression that they were included to fill up pages. By attempting to include tales that really were not funny, nor outrageous, the editor undermined part of her objectives.
