| Editorial Reviews: | | |  | | How easy is it to fall off a log? Where is the middle of nowhere? Do we really have no bananas? The readers of OLD GIT magazine are a batty, befuddled, potty-mouthed bunch, who seem to spend a significant chunk of their spare time corresponding with the publication's popular letters page. DO ANTS HAVE ARSEHOLES? is a very funny, very silly collection of questions and answers taken from this column, none of which has any basis whatsoever in fact. A must for all those who relish a heady mixture of shaggy-dog stories, toilet humour and utter lack of insight. | |

| I must have missed something...but this didnt miss the bin. | |
| | I knew within a few pages this was not for me. I am quite a juvenile 36 year old but this was far too juvenile for me, (taking in mind I have a wife and 2 kids - so not 'that' juvenile). It was just not funny and was just stupid. Think of a question, let some chimps type, some completely random answers and publish it. I dont usually throw books away - but within two weeks this was nestled gently at the bottom of the recycling bin, probably the best decision I made, and being safely aware that this copy could no longer inflict itself on anyone else. Dont get me wrong I have a good sense of humour - but this stuff is just unfunny crap.
Some people may find it funny, but hey 'Last of the Summer Wine' lasted for years so there is no accounting for taste - this book made me smile less (and I despise Last Of The Summer Wine).
I would like to think that (if it is ever re-printed), the last question being "How do you feel now sucker, after parting with your hard earned cash for this dirge?". The title of the book is quite funny, hence 1 star.
PS I have an idea, I should give this book 5 stars, that is far more hilarious than anything between its pages.

| | I read the negative reviews here about this book and thought what a load of stuffshirts. With my well honed schoolboy sense of humour I couldn't wait to take this to the inner sanctum to read.
I have to agree with the 'stuffshirts' I am afraid. I cannot even say it is 'puerile', it's just rubbish. I think there was something that made me laugh somewhere but not sure.
A shame, a great title and a great idea for a parody on the absolutely excellent New Scientist books but I think they had more humour in them than this does. It reminded me of 'Shite's unoriginal miscellany' the author's name was a perfect description of the contents.
| | | It's quite scary to see that some people have taken this book seriously. Maybe it is a symptom of the world today but it's good to know that the rest of us have a sense of humour!
| | | This is the old adage "Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer" in book form.
Whilst some of the entries are very funny, and a lot of the questions invite bizarre answers, the reader is left at the end wondering... why?
Why do people feel compelled to write in with random yarns that could be misconstrued as fact? Why do I still have to check myself thinking that some of it mught be true? Why did they have to publish a book-full?
Truth be told, this is a book you leaf through at bed time, have a little chuckle, then put down, but the irony is not lost. This is a book full of people asking questions no one asks, being answered by people who have far too much spare time, and you sit there thinking "why I am bothering to read it?"
It's not an awful book, it fills a gap. But, like the articles themselves, it is a bit pointless.
| | I felt compelled to review this as it was so bad | |
| | I bought this book thinking it might contain lots of interesting and random facts about things and life in general. It is a very small book containing fictional letters from people which are meant to be humourous but if you have half a brain it is really very tedious and uninteresting.
There are smatterings of factual information but you would have to be aware of this information in the first place in order to sieve it out of the sea of complete and utter nonsense it is contained within.
In short, do not buy this if you are hoping for an interesting read. Perhaps younger readers would enjoy it but they would certainly not learn anything.
I did find this book useful as a sleeping aid as it is so competely boring and pointless.
