Funny titles

Posted on April 4, 2006 by jjn1

Hmmm… There’s a book called Writing with Power written by someone named Peter Elbow. Why is this funny? Only because we have a saying in Ireland: “More power to your elbow”, which is a vague exhortation to people about to embark on a worthy but futile task.

The funniest title I’ve come on recently though is Yoga for people who can’t bothered to do it by Geoff Dyer.
