Inappropriate, rude, insulting, and very irreverent. I like it.

[Ryk Stanton · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked it for what it was (and I'm sorry to those who think I'm too classy a guy to go in for the odd off-color joke ... and those who know me well understand that there's that Ryk and then there's this Ryk and ... you know what, you either get it or you don't). The weird part is that the book was obviously written in England, so of the jokes just make no sense whatsoever to me. References to celebrities I've never heard of, derogatory terms I'm not familiar with for classes of people ("chav"?), and so on. So I feel pretty worldly in my potty humor now.

It was on the discount shelf at Booksamillion, so for less than $5 I have a whole arsenal of new jokes to rattle around in my noggin.

And now I'll give the book to someone else so it isn't sitting around on my shelves. Gotta show some class, you know.

These jokes are tasteless, yes, and not particularly amusing, either. Consider the fact that there is an entire category of abortion jokes (which weighs heavily with coat hanger references), and you will have a rough idea of what you are stepping into!

Funny...but a bit bitter for some racist issue...

Very tastelessly funny!
