About me:
Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.com The Man who Scared a Shark to Death The natural successor to The Darwin Awards—hilarious true stories of the world’s worst drunken misadventures!!! An entertaining compendium of alcoholic insights for armchair imbibers and a cadence to arms for more adventurous souls who prefer to combine their cocktails with action sports, safari wildlife and illicit amorous liaisons.

A British comedian, drunk on a gallon of wine, takes a one-pound bet to jump, completely naked, into an aquarium filled with sharks and stingrays, causing one of them to die of stress.

An American man goes on such an astonishing bender he believes his girlfriend's claim that they got married while under the influence and only becomes suspicious when she is unable to produce a marriage certificate during the following seven years.

An unruly airline passenger gets so drunk off of cheap whiskey, he is tied up with pantyhouse by crew members, arrested and misses his own wedding!

A drunk driving suspect when asked to identify himself, tells cops he is James Bond!

Russian troops get so wasted that it seems like a good idea to make a little extra cash by selling off their tank … to Chechen rebels!

The true stories in The Man who Scared a Shark to Death taken from news reports around the world, serve as both cautionary tales (don't agree to "help out" with a stranger's robbery, even if he seems like a really nice guy) and comforting perspective (at least you've never woken up in a trash compactor). However cringe-making your own most embarrassing drunken moment might be, at least you're not the man who caught his privates in a mousetrap—twice. If you're a fan of the DARWIN AWARDS, you'll love The Man who Scared a Shark to Death

Hey,

Thanks for adding me and hope you get a chance to check out my blogs - who knows I might even raise a smile. The LDP or Lesbian Dinner Party might be right up your alley!

Long live the Welsh! (even though I'm English)

Hahaha! I love this title, but seriously hope I didn't unknowingly meet you, drunk, one night!

I think this book would make a lovely Xmas gift.

Anyway, thanks for the look up, nice to meet you!
