finds mine, which isn't hard, considering how big my mouth
is...".Ana's multiple personalities: "My inner goddess is picking
her nose...".Those ludicrous emails. "Crispin: About our 'deal':

spoof of EAT PRAY LOVE. In this oddly inspirational book the main
character Cynthia, a rich beautiful divorcee who is looking for

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

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.
UNHOLY ROMANCE Unholy Romance is a hilarious story about Jesus
Christ's second coming. His task, if he can manage to stay alive
this time, is to conceive a new set of Commandments which are more
relevant to the 21st century than those left behind in stone by
'old lick-arse' Moses. For thirty days, Jesus must live amongst the
human race as one of their own, adopting their ways, savage and all
as that may be. By doing this he will learn to appreciate his
subjects true motivations and so develop more appropriate
Commandments. His only ammunition on earth during his brief stay is
an allowance of three miracles. As instructed by his dad, God the
Father, Jesus must communicate the Commandments to the people
through a diary, which he will leave behind as the new Bible. It is
this diary that forms the basis for Unholy Romance Above all else,
this is a tale of an unlikely and ultimately passionate romance
between Jesus Christ and Megan Milligan, a feisty, Irish phone sex
operator and devoted atheist, as they struggle to come to terms
with an unplanned pregnancy TARGET MARKET: Anyone over eighteen who

REVIEWS: 'I was in floods of laughter. A great read.' NOAH 'It

against Jesus for defamation of character. I do not have a drink

which I will sell to the highest bidder.' JUDAS 'I wash my hands of
this disturbingly controversial page turner.' PONTIUS PILATE 'I'd
need to see some evidence that Jesus actually wrote this book
before commenting.' DOUBTING THOMAS 'Go on my son ' GOD THE FATHER

there yet?' moaners MOSES 'It's a great book of two halves...and a
cover KING SOLOMON LITERARY AGENT COMMENT: "Other samples on the
subject of Jesus' return to modern earth have passed across our
desks here, but none have shown such promise. I do think this is

The Old Testament: but more mad, more merry, more... Milligan! "And
God said, Let there be light; and there was light, but Eastern
Electricity Board said He would have to wait until Thursday to be

Testament over the centuries but never one quite like this. Spike

best-known stories of the Old Testament, featuring characters like
King "my brain hurts" Solomon, the great oaf of a giant Goliath and
the lesser-known crossword clue, Hushai the Archite. Believers and
non-believers alike will enjoy this hilarious re-working, where the
jokes, jests and jibes tumble over each other from Chapter One,

an interview in her housemate's place, with the enigmatic vending
machine entrepreneur Crispin Dry of Dry Goods, Inc, it sets off a
chain of events that will alter her weekend plans for ever... Sound
familiar? Good - it's a parody. Of many stories - almost all of
them famous. Just check out the chapter headings for an idea of
what's in store Finding herself drawn hypnotically to this dark and
complicated (and dead) man - Sarah, her housemate (name as yet
unremembered) and their friends become embroiled in a family whose
business is steeped in history. Or maybe just lost in it. An
action-packed adventure of love, loyalty, war, alcohol, zombies,
rickshaws, and squid. Some things will be changed in your hearts
afterwards for evermore - but hopefully not the bits that work.
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?" 'How to be: NORTH DAKOTA'
offers regional history and culture through lessons and activities
about becoming "North Dakotan." Local humor with universal appeal,
it is the perfect gift for a native, a state rival, a new parent or
any American looking to laugh and learn about a state that's more
than "that place with the oil" or "the top Dakota." With drawings
by Amy Jean Porter.
