Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
For years, the National Lampoon has been soliciting readers for photographs of the weird signage that litters the American landscape, clippings of unintentional profanity or stupidity in newspapers, and other howlers of visual and written communication. This book collects the best from the archives. Although the book is most hilarious when viewed with the copious illustrations, some of the examples include:

Product Labels:"Try our cough syrup, you will never get any better"; "Walgreen's non-constipating slip-on thong sandals"
Headlines: "2 Towns Vie for Pizza Hut Sewage"; "Multiple-personality rapist sentenced to two life terms"
Store Signs: "Let us sniff your tailpipe"; "Perk up with a back-to-school spinal check-up"; "UAB University Inn Welcome Infectious and Parasitics"; "Now Hiring Liver & Onions"
Newspaper Ads: "For sale: one inflatable sheep. Slightly used, $15"; "Blin Bookmart: Rare, out-of-print, & non-existent books"

Not only is truth stranger than fiction: but real life is often funnier than most comedians.

Product Description
Now, for the first time, fans of National Lampoon's popular True Facts books can enjoy the complete True Facts collection in one hilarious edition. Every weird and wacky photo, advertisement, announcement, and news article is in one handy volume. It's a guaranteed hit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious! I could not stop laughing!, January 27, 2000

By	Sean Griffith (NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Oh my god. I thought I was going to die of laughter. The stuff that's in the book is actually true and I could not stop laughing at these sighns and newspaper articles that they had in there. (EX: A man gets killed by a bowling ball) You have to get this book. You can't stop laughing.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Laughs of My Life!, September 24, 1998

By A Customer

This book gave meaning to my previously boring, miserable life. As a geeky high school student, I found that noboby could appreciate my sense of humor. I bought "True Facts: The Big Book" the Summer after my graduation from high school. I loved the book so much that I HAD to take it to college with me. Now I am the big man on campus, thanks to this book. I have friends knocking on the door asking if they can borrow it. It's hard not to laugh at other's verbal mistakes, such as a "SOTP" sign or a sign that reads: "Caution, pedestrians slippery when wet." My hearty thanks to John Bendel for the endless laughs!

5.0 out of 5 stars The funniest book I have ever read, September 16, 2000

By	"marc83" (Ireland) - See all my reviews

I first came across this book on vacation in Florida in the summer of '97.I had just read a few pages and I was laughing uproarisly,people in the store were looking at me.I had to buy it.Now,three years later,I still split my sides laughing whenever I read this book.It's in the same vien as Jay Leno's 'Headlines', it deals with real life,unintentionally funny stuff.This book is surely proof that the truth is funnier than fiction.Anyone with a sense of humour should buy,and love,this book.
