A compendium of offbeat questions and startling answers

Mitchell Symons gathers an eclectic set of everyday, bodily, social, and pop-culture curiosities into a humor-oriented essay collection. The questions range from how to handle a friend’s bad breath to the economics of mailing oneself overseas, alongside claims and myths involving smoking and Keith Richards. Framed around facts that may be surprising, provocative, or unpleasant, the book’s organizing principle is curiosity about the odd questions that arise in conversation but are seldom addressed directly. Its subject matter moves freely between practical dilemmas, human biology, and unusual trivia.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Fans of humorous trivia and miscellany
  • Adults who enjoy offbeat question-and-answer books
  • Browsers interested in social, body-related, and pop-culture curiosities
