Why Do Dogs Sniff Your Balls? (English Edition)

If you dropped your trousers and mooned at a werewolf would it howl? Why did Kamikaze pilots bother to wear helmets? If we live in a country of free speech then why do we have to pay our telephone bill? And if someone was about to die in the electric chair and they had a heart attack would they try and revive them? Thought provoking, informative and sensible are words never usually associated with Nick Fisher’s books. Although two words that ARE usually associated with his books (apart from disgusting and warped) are ‘very’ and ‘funny’ and when you put them all together you’ve got something that’s very funny, thought provoking, informative and sensible - like this book. (Well it’s sensible for him anyway.) And although it contains some fairly strong language and adult humour it’s quite tame compared to his previous books. It’s packed with hundreds of 'Why do's' and 'What if's' and includes: A 'Silly Section' which lists humorous rhetorical questions like those above. A 'Did You Know' section that lists interesting facts that you probably never knew (Did you know that ice rinks go anti clockwise because the majority of people are right handed and it’s easier to hold on to the rail? And did you know that on average a man gets five erections a night even when he’s asleep? – Nick has an interesting take on that one!) A 'Things that annoy people' section, most of which you'll probably agree annoy you too, like holding a door open for someone and they don't say 'thank you', drivers that drive right up your arse, rude shop assistants, and standing in dog shit. It also lists the origins of some of the most common phrases we use every day. (Did You Know that in medieval times superstitious folk actually believed it REALLY DID rain cats and dogs and that they'd fallen from the sky – dead! When in actual fact it was because there was no drainage system in those days and when it flooded, cats and dogs used to drown and float down the street.) So, is Nick finally being sensible? Has he really turned over a new leaf? Buy the book and make your own mind up!
