Another of the 'dipping' books which constitutes most of my reading at the moment. This book is described as a manual for those things that you didn't learn at school or Boy Scouts...Presented in little, one or two page sections this book offers guides on how to roast a suckling pig (hmmm, useful for someone thats been a vegetarian for more than 20 years!!), pub magic, drinking games and the like.A good example of its type, though I don't think I'm tempted to reproduce much that I found in there...

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0399534156, Hardcover)

For everyone who loved The Dangerous Book for Boys-an oddly useful and hilarious handbook for the mischievous child in all of us.

If you've reached adulthood without knowing how to spin a rope like a cowboy, cure a hangover, or make a citizen's arrest, this is the book you've been waiting for. Funny, far-ranging, and surprisingly handy, the book presents tutorials, including:

- How to Be a Real Man: mow the perfect lawn; defend yourself with nothing but an umbrella
- Bracing Outdoor Activities: skate backwards; make a boomerang come back; snare wild game
- Amusing Diversions: float an egg; eat a goldfish; master fiendish tongue- twisters; judge a woman's bra size at a glance

Also includes:
- Sumo wrestling for beginners
- Four diversions with a banana
- And much more
