The Book of Wind (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Although breaking wind is a natural bodily function, talking about it is often considered to be in bad taste (not to mention bad smell). Nevertheless, breaking wind, whether referred to as 'passing gas', 'cutting the cheese', 'letting one rip', or whatever, does contain an element of humorin addition to elements of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and mercaptan. With that element of humor in mind, The Book of Wind, a true work of fart (correction: work of art) was written by Jim Riva at the height of his intestinal energy.

Yes, The Book of Wind is crude, but it is cleverly crude: Aaron Sak, President of Phoenix Professional Packaging, Inc., called the book "a pure stroke of creative genius."

The book takes bathroom humor to a new high, with a touch of gasI mean class. David Lieberman, head of the Division of Gastroenterology at OHSU (Oregon Health & Science University), said, "The book was a huge hit with my colleagues."

The Book of Wind is, of course, a guys' book. After all, one of the big differences between ladies and guys is that ladies find bathroom humor to be disgusting, whereas guys find it to be disgustingly funny. Ralph Susmark, Regional Vice President of New Business Development for Venserv, had this to say about the book: "It's sick. I loved it!"

The author displayed a paperback version of The Book of Wind for the first time at a book fair in Seattlewith a toilet seat on the table and a sign in the bowl that read BLOWOUT SALE.

This 'smellbinding' book has headings like Close Encounters of the Repugnant Kind, Wild-West Gas-slingers, Farts in the Anals of History, Fart-Ignition, Unleashments in Elevators, Airlines' Frequent Farters, Trains, Planes, and Fartomobilesand on and on and on.

This is definitely not a book that you'll want to bury your nose in, but it is a gas. Paul Schlumpberger, General Manager of American Machine & Rollform Tech, Inc., said, "It killed me. I'd never read a book like that." Jim Kelly, Vice President of Pacific Crest Securities, said, "Even weeks later, the guys in the office were still talking about parts of this book."

The Book of Wind is bathroom humor at its absolute best.
