I’ve been driving most of the day and packing and unpacking the rest of it, so I’m a little thrashed today.
Rather than the long blog I had planned to do today, I thought it would be easier on me and fun for you to do something else. I’ve discovered what has to be a strong candidate for the World’s Funniest Title. I got this from Chip MacGregor’s blog. Here’s an exact quote of the title:
“How to Good-Bye Depression: If You Constrict Anus 100 Times Everyday. Malarkey? or Effective Way?”
No, I didn’t make that up. I’m nowhere near clever enough to think up that great title. I haven’t read the book, but I verified its existence and read some of the reviews on Amazon.
Check it out! This guy has 39 reviews, an average 4-star rating, and his Amazon rank right now is #38,010. No kidding. The reviewers generally say it is the most unintentionally hilarious book they have ever read. After reading the book description on Amazon, I can well believe this. I’ll quote you the first two sentences of the book description:
I think constricting anus 100 times and denting navel 100 times in succession everyday is effective to good-bye depression and take back youth. You can do so at a boring meeting or in a subway.
This, I would guess, is the Christmas gift you get for the guy who really does have everything. Because you can bet good money he hasn’t got this, and he’ll love it.
Is this for real??? I was having a roll of giggles over it–but is it really real? Not a hoax book? Really? (???)
Wow. What more can I say? 🙂
I wonder if someone somewhere has a list of the top ten most unitentionally funny books?
Ok, I can see (figuratively) anal constriction being feasable. But “navel denting”? C’mon, that’s just ridiculous. I mean, how many people have even a single warship, let alone an entire flotilla under their command?
I saw that on Chip’s blog last week and wondered … if someone actually did it, would they tell anyone??
And do you have to continue constricting 100 times a day for the rest of your life? Or will the depression come back?
I guess I’ll have to get the book to find out the answers to these questions and many more.
Oh my, I think my hubby would get a big laugh out of this book. As far as the validity to anal constricting – who knows, but laughing is good for depression too, and I think you’re guaranteed to do that while reading this book.

Dang it! So much for my breakout novel, The Anal Constriction Conspiracy. Back to square one.

Now that’s funny.
My personal title favorite was Cooking with Pooh!
