Summary: "Milk through the nose" funny at times
Comment: Got this book for Xmas just before going on a three-day trip and finished it on the plane in about three hours. GREAT stuff! If you've ever strayed more than 100 yards from your home, you can relate to these tales of disaster, frustration and fear...comic disaster, frustration and fear, of course. Lots of memorable pieces, but the ones that stick out for me are Rolf Potts' great tale of bag-snatching in Thailand; Elliot Hester's battle-royale aboard the San Juan special; and the funniest one of all...a newcomer named Mark St. Amant's sleep-deprived account of a perpetually clog-dancing, karaoke-singing Japanese neighbor in Florence. (Some of his descriptions will have you rolling on the floor and kicking your feet, wondering if he'd been sniffing glue prior to writing it, just like a certain monkey that appears in the story.). All in all, a fantastic read, expecially if you're setting out into the cruel, comic world.

Summary: Hilarity on Wheels
Comment: This latest humor volume from Travelers' Tales is more than just clever, witty, and sometimes crude--it's downright hilarious! The volume includes very enjoyable pieces from emerging travel writing icon William Dalrymple, the irrepressable Elliot Hester, the ever clever Doug Lansky.
The culturally uptight and easily offended should be warned about two of the best and funniest stories in this top notch anthology, "Saigon Games" by Richard Sterling, and "Snap Happy and the Nagas" by Bennett Stevens. The former has dangerous politically incorrect fun with downtrodden street thieves in Vietnam. Don't try this at home! The latter pokes irreverent fun at himself amidst the madness of the world's largest display of reverence--the Kumbha Mela in India--in what just may be the world's most embarrassing moment.
There are 26 more stories from around the world to enjoy, each offering their own unique view to the limitless variety of available humor hazards facing the modern traveler. Great book to take on the road (lightweight) or add to your bathroom humor collection.
