The Shortest Books

My husband forwarded me this farcical list of The World's Shortest Books.  It is not especially funny and I eliminated those I considered to be(for lack of better words) extra stupid.  What I appreciate , is the potential book titles/authors that flooded my mind, making me laugh out loud.

Here is a portion of the list sent by Andy:
The World's Shortest Books:

THINGS I LOVE ABOUT MY COUNTRY
By Jane Fonda, Illustrated by Michael Moore

MY CHRISTIAN ACCOMPLISHMENTS &
HOW I HELPED AFTER KATRINA
By Rev Jesse Jackson & Rev Al Sharpton
Coauthored by George W. Bush

THINGS I LOVE ABOUT BILL
By Hillary Clinton

THINGS I CANNOT AFFORD
By Bill Gates

MY PLAN TO FIND THE REAL KILLERS
By O. J. Simpson

I thought of many good ones, but because they are personal, they would only spark laughter from those who know the assigned authors....and mostly they are not kind or flattering to the would-be authors.  However, the 2 below seem fine for posting.
Nurturing Family Connections
By:  My Parents and Andy's

Consideration:  When Its All You Know 
By:  Andy's 2 Older Sisters

The following is a list of would-be titles by yours truly:
  • Relaxed Parenting 
  • The Magic of the Mother Daughter Experience  (I have 2 sons:)
  • Putting Yourself First
  • Loving Your Pets After Having Children
  • Extreme Self Confidence
  • Excessive Cleaning:  When You Just Can't Quit
  • Maintaining the Super Tight Body

This thought pattern reminds me of  "Would you rather?".  The possibilities are infinite and and in my opinion, hysterical.

If a good one comes to mind, please share in the form of a comment.

Your thoughts are welcome here. As long as they are kind. Or maybe just not unkind.
