A few months ago somebody on the net asked for humorous book titles.
Here are a few I have heard since then:


"Rusty Bedsprings" by I.P. Nightly

"Spots on the Wall" by Hu Flung Poo

"The Tiger Attack" by Claude Balls

"Dinner With the Royal Family" by Chuck and Di

Finally, what Shakespearian comedies go by the working titles of

"Four Inches", "Six Inches", "Nine Inches", and "Twelve Inches"?
"Much Ado About Nothing", "As You Like It", "A Midsummer Night's Dream"
and "The Taming of the Shrew".

What about?

"Underneath the Bleachers" by Seymour Butts

"Holes in the Bedsprings" by Mister Completely

"100 Yards to the Out-house" by Will E. Makit

"Spots on the Wall" by Hu Flung Cum

When I was 13 I probably knew 20 of these, but that was a long time
ago.

Along this line, I once had a supervisor who told me that his brother
was a published author. He told me that the books that his borother had
written were all pretty small, but then asked if I had heard of any of
them -

"Famous Black Polo Players"

"Black Men I Have Met While Yachting"

"Jewish Basketball Players in the Hall of Fame"

"Current White Heavyweight Contenders"

etc.

I know:

40 yards to the outhouse by Willie Makit, illustrated by Betty Dont.
Tracks in the sand by Peter Dragon.
Overpopulation in China by Wi Fukim Yung.
The Tigers Revenge by Claude Bahls.
The Yellow River by I. P. Freely.
Full Moon Rising by Seymour Hiney.


That's all I can think of for now...
