Book Reviews of Why Do Men Have Nipples? Hundreds of Questions You'd Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third MartiniBook Review: Giggle City Summary: 5 Stars
Is there really any good reason to ponder questions like Why do Men Have Nipples? Is there any reason at all to buy a book that claims to answer such questions? (And how in the world can books like this make the best-seller list?)
I picked up "Why do Men Have Nipples? etc," and two other humor books [The First book of Tasteless Fortune Cookie Fortunes by Joe Wang [very funny stuff], and Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck Dictionary [a real hoot]) to get myself out of a very foul mood, and guess what? It worked. The clouds parted, things were good again, and I was soon in GIGGLE CITY!
If you are like me and just suffer from an innate human curiosity, a natural fascination with minutiae and trivia, or simply the need for excellent bathroom books, these three books all fit the bill.
This book sucessfully will tickle your innner funnybone. Mr. Goldberg, an ER doctor, and Mark Leyner, a satirist and columnist, address such "burning" questions as whether sitting on the John too long can cause hemorrhoids! The subtitle, "Hundreds of Questions You'd Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Martini," sets the tone for this quick read of questions and not humorously responsive answers. The chapters progress as stages of a cocktail party, and as the night goes on, the "adult" nature of the questions increases a bit, but all in all it's pretty tame, errrr. other than the sex questions in chapter 3 and the bathroom questions in chapter 6.
So if you want to know the answer to why some people have "innies" and others have "outies" for belly buttons, or why people who get drunk get the munchies, or why your skin wrinkles when you sit in the tub too long, or what happens if you mix Pop Rocks and Coca-Cola, or whether eating poppy seeds will affect the results of your next drug test, this book will Rock you silly.
Why Do Men Have Nipples? is not a health reference book, and you probably have heard the answers to maybe 30% of the questions. Nevertheless, this will make your family members wonder what you are reading in the bathroom, but just don't sit so long that those hemorrhoids become irritated again.
