As the title states, this is a book with 101 questions that are totally irrelevant, stupid and with no real meaning whatsoever, but in actual fact are questions we secretly would love to know the answer to.

I bet every day someone wonders:

If one synchronised swimmer drowns, do they all have to drown?

&

Why don’t sheep shrink when it rains?

You could dine out for weeks entertaining your guests with these little snippets and maybe, if you are lucky to be invited back (and not just to apologise) educate more un-enlightened people.

This book is definitely coined for the adult market who enjoy – and I quote – “really good toilet humour, shaggy dog stories and have an utter lack of insight.”

You could read this from cover to cover, but I would keep it for short blasts, one question at a time, maybe when travelling to work, coffee breaks or in a supermarket queue. The last suggestion will work only if you don’t mind looking mad when your laughter echoes all around the cash checkouts.

Myself, I would only give it 8 out of 10 as the book gave me a lot to smile about but no belly laughs, but there again I’m a miserable old sod anyway.

I will leave you with one more snippet.

Question: My best friend reckons if he eats the right foods he can do a hollow turd. Is he telling the truth?

Answer: You’ll have to buy the book to find out.
