Ok, so you're having a bad
day, maybe a whole slew of them in rapid succession. You've tried whining,
you've tried complaining and nobody cares.
You've tried fantasizing,
you've tried perspective, and while you may feel a little better for a while,
you're still having a rotten day.
After all this, you are just
about to settle on abject, pitiful despair as the best solution when you
stumble across this book and you think to yourself: "Finally, here is
something I hadn't thought of: reading a book of booger humor."
Excerpt from Book:
Five wretched examples of bad luck in history
Bad luck has been around a
long time, longer than I can remember. We have included this chapter just to
give you a few examples.
Example #1

Caesars' daughter, planned her wedding to be the social event of the

invaders immediately began pillaging right in the middle of the second course
and to make matters worse, they were eating all the food, even the stuff that
was to be saved for later.
Because it's tough to pillage
on an uncomfortable full stomach, the German tribal leaders asked the hostess
for bags to put the leftovers in. (This is where the term, "sacking Rome" came
from.
