Obesity plagues America and stalks the rest of the world. Sex is in decline, drugs are on the rise and politics is in tatters, the perfect stew that explains our expanding girth. Here is a daring new explanation for obesity. Don't let the facts stand in the way of junk food science. Just grab some chips and start reading. 3 Faces of Obesity takes a light-hearted look at a heavyweight subject in bad need of some fresh attention. Praise for this edition: "Jansen has made a breakthrough in understanding this 3-sided coin. He shows a feeble grasp of biology and science, but faulty thinking does not stop him from reaching the right conclusions about what is behind obesity." - J. Pansen "This unknown author goes out on a limb and brings back a bird's nest of theories about addiction, nutrition, and psychology. Did "eat the weenie" really replace "hide the weenie"? Find out here. - P. Ansenjay Also from RedPagePress, "Vatican Museum Oddities" ... a humor laced critique of the unholy art collected by popes through the ages.

An author's mind is a terrible thing to waste as it bubbles with stuff that we are all capable of conjuring, but most are spared the amusement. During the last decade, this author has had a number of mind rushes come over the spillway and, in a fit of intellectual ineptitude, has decided to let it loose upon the unsuspecting public; thus, this collection of four entertainments designed to both edify and crack you up. From the author of No Irish Need Apply, The Jade Owl and Are You Still Submitting Your Work to a Traditional Publisher? comes - A Reader's Guide to Author's Jargon And Other Ravings from the Blogosphere: to wit - - Extempore Thoughts for the Day - Ask Miss Chatty - New Leaves in the Wind: 5 Essays from a Recovering Webaholic A Reader's Guide to Author's Jargon: a non-definitive guide to AuthorSpeak - an entertainment for readers to help them absorb the details of an author's craft. It's writing for readers, not writers. To wit - "A Pot-boiler: A formulaic book written for a surefire audience with the promise of a steady revenue stream. This does not mean that a potboiler is poorly written. It just means that their author depends on the income, knows where the paycheck is and writes it to reader's taste, in most cases severing the creative bond between art and commerce. The name derives from the poor starving artist who needs to pay the gas bill to keep the pot boiling. The expression usually applies to books, but the label can be applied to any art form that is driven by popular demand instead of creative integrity. It is possible to align the two. Usually, works of this nature are not enduring, because popular tastes change leaving whales beached." Extempore Thoughts for the Day: daily aphorisms, both deep and ethereal, affording the author a platform to spew out fortune cookie wisdom at the drop of the hat. Meant to make you ponder. Meant to make you laugh. To wit: "Books, like chapels or cathedrals, open their doors for reader meditation. Of course, authors still must pass the collection plate." "Variety is the breakfast of life. You waffle today; you pancake tomorrow." "The Roman Senate opposed dictators, but Caesar had his Gaul." "They say the world has seven wonders. I agree. They're called the days of the week." and 263 more Ask Miss Chatty: a unique advice column from the drag queen hostess of The Painted Lips Lounge. Need I say more? A laugh riot. New Leaves in the Wind: Five Essays from a Recovering Webaholic: a view of Corporate America and its romance with the World Wide Web, and how gazillions of $$$ have been wasted in the process. An insider's view. News at eleven To wit: "Mild mannered during the day, Business Dick works at implementing serious solutions in a database realm. He sits through hours of meetings, wanders through mountains of requirements and watches thousands of buckos spill over the black rim into the red. Alas, says Business Dick, there must be a better way to make the deadlines. Let me go to my local bookstore and buy a Book for Dummies. Soon, Business Dick transforms himself into Dick the Web Rogue." So, if you need to fire up those synapses for the brain and the Kindle, come jog in the jargon with me. Regret is not a four-letter word.

The spellbinding mock history of the Department of Agriculture's most secretive and vital agency
The little-known USDA Agency of Invasive Species -- founded by President and humble peanut farmer Jimmy Carter -- would like to reassure you that they rank among the most effective and cost-efficient offices within the sprawling federal bureaucracy. For decades, under Administrative Director Adam Humphrey and his "strategic disengagement" approach, the Agency has epitomized vigilance against the clear and present danger of noxious weeds. Humphrey's record of triumphant inertia faces only two obstacles. The first is reality; the second is the loud critic who dares to question the magic behind the Agency's success: Nicholas Bader. Formerly known as President Reagan's "bloody right hand," Bader is on an obsessive quest to trim the fat from the federal budget.
Full of oddball characters who shed light on the daily operations of Beltway minions, THE WEED AGENCY showcasesa world in which federal budgets balloon every year, where a career can be built upon the skill of rationalizing astronomical expenses, and where the word 'accountability' sends roars of laughter through DC office buildings. That's life inside the federal Agency of Invasive Species... and it may sound suspiciously similar to your reality.

Prison humor from an old jail guard. The Author is a retired Prison Guard who resides in Western New York State. Everyone came to jail for various reasons. I was hired as a jail officer. I felt I could make a positive difference in the lives of especially the younger first time offenders. I began one of the biggest and longest lessons of my life. Humor is one positive outlet of inner tensions for both Inmates and Officers. This book is about the humorous side. I ended up working on the prison farm. The Farm was an outside the prison walls work program that would hopefully be enough of a lesson for the guys not to come back to jail. Fernando was mentally slow and very gullible. Tiny was a huge guy with a humorous side and a donut addiction. Gary was a talented Carpenter with a drinking problem. The Farm House Mouse proved how many guys were terrified of mice including me. Floyd was a salesman of illegal substances with no common sense. The Axe man was a tree murderer with a no nonsense mom. Everyone had a nickname and that also included the Officers. I made sure the farm inmates had enough donuts and that got me in trouble at times. Before Billy had come to jail he had had school and family problems and like so many others numbed his mind with alcohol; except he was not a happy drunk and had too many buttons to push.

A parody of the Book of Genesis will full-color illustrations by John Bergdahl. All the wisdom of a holy scripture, all the hot lizard action of a monster movie. It has all your favorites like Sodom and Gomorrah, the Great Flood, and Abraham and Isaac, but there's so much more. You'll recoil to the horror of Cain and Abel, thrill to the creation of the world, cheer at the plagues of Egypt, and shudder at the instructions on circumcision.

A book for everyone who has looked at the vast expanse of Ole and Lena jokes and asked, "Is that it?"

Whether you're a man or a woman this collection of over fifty anecdotes based on common things that women say to men every day, should raise a smile Originally an eBook format, it was soon created in paperback format due to demand thus is a short book of 64 pages, so don't expect a 300 page novel At least the short book format is ideal for a man's attention span The follow up, 'Life of Pie - Nag Pie' is now available and is by far a more chunky traditional book that takes the reader through the journey of life and the ages of nagging, as well as a look at the inadequacies of men in the final chapter, a Life of Bragging. A Woman can ask a question and she is really asking something different, men know this and they get frustrated and answer in a way that makes them appear guilty and before they know it they face the Spanish Inquisition with a barrage of questions or comments. Men get sucked into the game and complain of Nagging If you have had the pleasure or being served a slice or two of 'Nag Pie' in your life, deserved or not, then you will relate to this collection of over fifty overused cliches, questions or comments.

Long ago in a time best forgotten, the once-peaceful realm of Vaisnisht is about to erupt into rampaging violence interrupted by erotic interludes and lots of yelling. The Cohen, ruler of this troubled land, has become extremely dead, and the fabled Porcelain Throne is up for grabs. The grabbing won't be polite and restrained either, but the brutal kind that could cause painful hangnails. At the center of the noisy drama is Lord Nathen Shtarker, a noble nobleman, though something of a schmuck. He and his proud family stand against the Bannisters, ne Blonsky, a clan as evil as they are wicked. Toss in a rollicking assortment of knights and vassals, damsels and dwarfs, mystical yentas and flying rhinoceroses, plus thousands of colorfully costumed extras, and you have a saga that will make you laugh, cry and question the very meaning of existence. But mostly laugh. At long last, here it is, the epic parody of Game of Thrones, the hit HBO series (and five really long, best-selling novels) that medieval readers have been begging for. With Game of Cohens, best-smelling author Lewis Grossberger has penned (oh, all right, typed) a gut-wrenching, heart-burning, butt-scratching chronicle that is so deeply tragic it's hilarious.

2014 Reprint of 1937 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People" is a bare-faced satire on the worldwide bestseller book, Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People." It is also a self-help book, but it tackles the issue from the other side. Irving always considered that Dale Carnegie was all wrong when he encouraged people to smile and be optimistic. His philosophy is totally different. For Irving, great life achievements can be made by those who live negatively. In this book you will find advice on how to lose friends and make people hate you so that you will be more productive and successful in your life. It is the only book that has ever been written to help people dissolve their human relationships in favor of having a better life According to Irving, some of us are born with ability to make others peeved, but most of us aren't. Originally published in 1937, "How to Lose Friends and Alienate People" is a tongue-in-cheek primer by Irving Tressler on how to achieve more free time and peace by having few, if any, friends and acquaintances. "Some of us are born with ability to make others peeved, but most of us aren't. We flounder about making empty, vapid, pleasing remarks and before we know it we have another 'friend' and have invited him to lunch some day."

Fifty Shades of Grass - Giving love a sporting chance. Christina is trying to use Dave's love of sport to get him into bed, but of course he has no clue and is just "stoked" he's found a girl who adores talking about bouncers, behinds, and superb ball handling as much as he does. Fifty Shades of Blokes is a series for us guys who just don't get all the fuss about this Fifty Shades malarkey. When handyman, Dave Woode, does some weekend work for young entrepreneur, Christina Grey, he encounters a woman who is beautiful, brilliant, and desperate to try out a 'bit of rough'. The unworldly, innocent Dave - like almost every man before him - has no idea what's going on, and believes Christina simply shares his passions for sports, DIY and gardening.

With every story written the way men would like it - incredibly short - the Fifty Shades of Blokes trilogy won't 'possess you' or 'obsess you', but it is quite obviously a parody that will leave you asking: How do men and women ever get together? How many men are really as simple as Dave? What does it say about our sex lives when 'the real books' sell a million copies a week? N.B. This series is intended for immature audiences.
