If any librarian wishes to remove some of the excessive "poo" books, feel free to do so. I get it, it's funny, but do there need to be so many of them?

*turns green with jealousy*
I decided to come up with some blurbs/plot summaries for a few of these:-The Rave: A man gets over his existential depression by going to an underground club, taking some MDMA, dancing for twelve hours to sick Eurotrance beats, and making out with a woman he's never met before.
-Gertrude McFuzz and the Big Bra: A woman comes to terms with changes to her body after her first pregnancy.
-Magic Stud: Throbber Oakstaff is the most attractive young wizard at Midnight Orb Arcane College, and he takes full advantage of that fact during his first few months on campus. But then a succubus hits him with a paternity suit, elf triplets he bedded on consecutive nights destroy the Pyromancy Wing while fighting over him, and worst of all, his parents embarrass him when they come to visit. Could it be time to turn over a new leaf?
-The Tale of Peter Rabbi: A heart-wrenching story for children about a young rabbi who risks everything to save children from the Warsaw Ghetto.
-Alice in Tim: Alice asks Tim if he would be willing to try something special in the bedroom for International Women's Day

Hilarious, Keith! I can hardly pick a favorite, but I think I'll go with "-Alice in Tim: Alice asks Tim if he would be willing to try something special in the bedroom for International Women's Day"and "-Of Nightingales That Wee: A man is plagued by an army of small birds who keep urinating on his prized car."
:D
Some more:-The Communist Manifest: International Communism takes on an anthropomorphic personification in the form of a perky young woman who gets into a fiery love triangle with the manifestations of Authoritarianism (a dark and brooding bad boy who wears black leather) and Democratic Socialism (a sensitive New Man who wears cardigans and eats granola every morning). Which will she choose? And will the world survive?

These are all great! I think my favorite is...
-Gertrude McFuzz and the Big Bra: A woman comes to terms with changes to her body after her first pregnancy.
Because it's so true! I just can't stop laughing :)
I just removed four duplicates.P.S. I had to bite my cheeks so hard, they are bleeding. All because I didn't want my mom to come into my room and see me rolling around on the floor like a lunatic.
I'll keep making these until I run out of books or people stop finding them funny. :-D-The Andalite's Gif: A member of an obscure religious sect creates an animated image and posts it on Tumblr, revolutionizing the online world with its memetic power...for about three days, until Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch appear in a movie together and everyone forgets about the Gif.
-Forrest Gum: Jim Forrest had a dream...a dream to create the world's best chewing gum. Because he believed in himself, and because he lived in America, he succeeded.

-Beware of Pit: A fascinating and hilarious book of photographs of grammatically incorrect road and warning signs around the world.
-Manifold: Tim: After a messy breakup (see Alice In Tim and Time After Tim), Tim decides to dedicate his life to science and makes a major breakthrough in the study of parallel universes.
-The Queen's Arm: A riding accident during a royal hunt leads to an international incident.
-The Silver Pea: A prankster paints a metal bead green and inserts it into a princess' lunch, causing her to break a tooth, which leads to an international incident. (Sequel to The Queen's Arm.)

-A Killer Among U: Teenagers are murdered by a killer who hates the use of incorrect grammar in text messages.
-The Great God Pa: A man takes "Father knows best" to its logical conclusion in managing his household.

A KIller Among U was a good one, I'd just love a murder mystery story where the motive of the killer is just being a grammar nazi.
"What your going to kill me?"
"YOU'RE!"
I've got a couple myselfThe Sound and the Fur: A man who is obsessed with conspiracies about myths and legends goes on a quest to track down Bigfoot, only his plans take a different direction when he stumbles across a furry convention.

Gone with the Win: Two contestants on The Price is Right, after losing, decide to work up the courage and go on various heist missions.
Hope you like them.
I like the concept of The Graveyard Boo - it sounds a bit like those assorted J-horror stories involving ghosts interacting with modern technology (Ringu, One Missed Call, etc.), but in a different genre.Some more:
-The Women's Roo: A heartwarming tale about a group of women who adopt an orphaned kangaroo and teach it to kick misogynists in the groin.

Emm ☿ wrote: "Cheaper by the Doze - About a dystopian society where citizens have to pay for sleep by the hour."This is for those that were thinking the movie 'In Time' wasn't crazy enough.

Now you've said that I just realised if this was a book we could have the prequel to Alice in Tim. XD

I can't believe I'm just now seeing this list for the first time! This is hilarious. Now I've gotta go look at all my shelves to see what I've got. Needed the laughs!
These blurbs are all hilarious but I particularly like:Keith wrote: "The Spy Who Loved M: James Bond has always had a secret he could never tell anyone. But now he dares to open his heart to the one who has always been there for him..."
I'm wondering if this is the Bernard Lee, Judy Dench, or Ralph Fiennes version of M. Either way I'd be happy :)
Took me a while to find some but knowing the titles and contents, 'bar' instead of 'barn' and 'ban' instead of 'bang' made me grin when I went to my list of books, so I've added them :-)And what to think of a certain English translation of a book by Franz Kafka? It made me laugh out loud 😂
I won't mention (the full) titles, which was my reason for laughing :-) Just have a look and see for yourselves.
I've got some other 'plot' ideas!Artemis Fowl and the Eternity Cod - 13-year-old child prodigy Artemis Fowl has created a robotic fish machine that could threaten the marine ecosystem in Kola Bay (it releases coke and high carbon dioxide that suffocates fish). By accident the "Eternity Cod' has escaped and is now captured by a businessman who threatens to wreck the fishing industry.
The Tales of Beedle the Bar - A short story collection featuring daily occurrences and peculiar customers in Beedle's pub.
The Hobbi - A boy who can't spell correctly. He confuses 'y' and 'i' forever. His favourite 'hobbi' is to stay at home, cook and perhaps fighting a dragon in his spare time.
Animal Far - All these happened in a galaxy far, far away...
Some more:The Lord of the Ring: Drama about a boxer named Smeagol who feels on top of the world whenever he's in the ring, but depressed and worthless when he's outside it, berating himself and calling himself "Gollum".
