Product Description
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

 A must have for any guy. October 2, 2007

I have to say that I never take the time to write reviews but I feel compelled to write one about this. I bought this book just because the cover looked kind of cool and planned to read it in my spare time. It just so happened that 2 hours after I bought the book, I ended up in the emergency room and then a 2 day hospital stay. I had T.V., my Mac, my cellphone and this book. You guessed it! I kept putting down all of my high priced gadgets and this book was very hard to put down. I can't wait to get home and try all of the neat tricks in this book. Again.... FANTASTIC!!!!

I'm giving this book a one-star review because Amazon has it grouped in with other books for kids like The Dangerous Book for Boys.
This book IS NOT FOR KIDS! Because it contains some racist, sexist, and homophobic humor, it should be classified as humor or satire.

Oh gosh, I got bamboozled by the book cover and bought it for my 8 year old nephew. It wasn't long before I got a blistering phone call from his grandmother. But I have to say that his teen cousins, boys and girls, got a huge kick out of the book. At least it made them read. Now I'll buy the related books for them. Oh, and Grandma is cool with it too, now that she read it.
Very funny and useful November 15, 2007

This book is very funny and it looks so cool, it seems like a book from the 1950's. I bought it for my brother and it is so funny that I was laughing all the time. I think the person who said it's racist read another book! My brother thinks it is cool, so it was a neat gift.

For all those who have issues with the book, learn to use the search inside feature that amazon has. Or just open the book up before giving it to someone. Personally, I found it to be a good read, and rather informative for the next time I need to make a citizens arrest, judge time of death by body temperature, or I need an interesting way to entertain in a dull situation. Once I started to read through the book, I found it rather difficult to put it down. A must have book for any man.
