Hey

years and years ago back in school we used to come up with (nothing original I'm sure) with funny book names. Now I'm not claiming that any of us as kids invented these and we probably nicked them of others we'd heard from but I can now only remember a couple.

Can you guys and girls remember any such as

Lion in the Bed by Claude Balls.
Bubbles in the Bath by Win D. Bottom
Spu*k on the bed by Mr. Completely

And that's all I can remember but there were loads, this as come out a pub talk discussion earlier today

over to you

haha, like the last one.

don't think there's any beating that, but I do remember 'My camel trek across the Sahara' by major bumsore

Now you're just asking for it .... (hmmm this sounds dodgy too lol ).

Years ago, (in the 70's) ice lolly sticks always came with different book names on them.

I can only remember one at the moment:

Learn to sew, by Fred Bare.

Edit, just found a list here:

Something in me died the day they stopped putting jokes on lolly sticks.

It really took something away.

I used to like it back then when I was given an interesting shaft.

Too obvious, I can't post it in the innuendo bingo thread.

Amazon review:

I found this book to be not only hilarious in its dry humour but also strangely sensual and alluring. As a 56 year old nun I have had many of the burning desires for the sweet scent of a pair of womens knicker repressed. My friend Father O'Flahrety also found it to be compelling and could not but it down. We haven't seen him or my well used copy of the book since, nor Sisters Assumpta and Agatha.

Classic.
