I should not try to read books that are trying to be funny and are not written by David Sedaris. It never works out.

"Emptying a litter box is basically like serving as a cat's toilet. It is the best way to humble yourself ever. Add 10 more points for being an awesome toilet."

"Add 10 points if you didn't die"

"Give yourself 50 points if you're a vampire. Subtract 40 points if you're a sparkly vampire."
