With everyone taking offense to everything these days, it is good to still be able to take pleasure in the simple things of life such as the hilarious toilet humor found in Flush This Book: True Tales of Bodily Malfunctions.  Assuming that you're human (as I am), then there isn't any doubt that you engage in a little schadenfreude from time to time to feel better about your own life.  Well, this book is jam packed with stories of how misery happens when bathroom trips turn into disaster.  And if a part of your sense of humor is like mine and still stuck back in elementary school, you'll be laughing out loud as you read each one of these tales of woe.In many ways, this book is a great escape from a world that seems to take itself way too seriously.  There is something surprisingly endearing about each of the stories contained within.  I think the reason for this is because our bodily functions are certainly something which all of us have to deal with on a relatively equal basis.  With toilet humor, we can relate to one another, regardless of whatever else may separate us.  Just as with the popularity of gallows humor (death, the great equalizer), to be able to laugh at the miseries which inflict all of us from time to time helps for us to inevitably endure them.So if you snicker when you fart or still own a whoopee cushion well into adulthood, then there isn't any reason to feel shame.  Some things are just funny, right?  That is certainly the case with Flush This Book.  Certain passages had my eyes watering from laughing so hard.  And the best news of all, is that you can enjoy your favorite brand of humor while helping a non profit organization do good work.  As someone who has traveled to India and seen the way in which some of the poorest people on the planet have to live, I like knowing that  a percentage of my profits are going to fund the work of the World Toilet Organization.  I only wish other Kindle authors would donate a portion of their sales to similar causes.Bottom line: for only $0.99, you'll have the perfect book to read while sitting on the can.
