Extensively researched, eccentrically compiled and irresponsibly written, this essential handbook is the latest addition to the Michael O’Mara Books humour list. But if you think that this is just another compilation of useless information, then think again. Breathtakingly combining the humorous with the genuinely useful, SHITE’S UNORIGINAL MISCELLANY weaves an eccentric course between fact-for-fact’s-sake and that ‘display of superior knowledge which is more vulgar than the display of superior wealth’.
Among a mass of arcane, vital or merely fascinating information – ‘semaphore signals’, ‘flowerpot sizes’, ‘gestation periods for small mammals’, ‘Oxbridge colleges’ and ‘Indian tribes at the Little Big Horn’ spring immediately to mind – it offers priceless snippets of information a reader may one day need to know, such as ‘things to say to your mother on her birthday’, ‘sightings of dead celebrities’, ‘organ enlargement’ and, of course, ‘things to do with mashed potato’. Here too is information that will come in handy when you least expect it, from ‘chat-up lines’ to ‘ways to end a romance’, ‘popular irritants’ to ‘song titles’, and ‘disease’ to ‘divorce’.
Bizarrely ordered, insanely edited, and lovingly machine-printed on a substance closely resembling paper, SHITE’S UNORIGINAL MISCELLANY blends humour and knowledge together in a superior recipe for instant laughter.
