Nice funny book for bathroom reading

Another hit with my husband he loves all Uncle John books, also get them for sons for gifts..Make your man smile with these. Recommend.

The paper is what a comedian might call "grade triple Z". The content is interesting enough, but not to compelling for a 69-year-old with 2 college degrees. It is also much shorter than I expected. (My fault). Stick with a book from the Bathroom Reader's Institute. You will seldom go wrong with those guys.

I have bought many many many of the bathroom reader books as gifts. My family appreciates them! Read.

Love this
