The
Humournet Collage Archive is an artifact of of the Old Web consisting of hundreds of .txt
collages (422 to be exact) of jokes and anecdotes, originally issued as part of the HumourNet mailing list. Sometimes the moderator's
opener is as funny as the content.

Must-haves for your coffee table, lavatory reading, or just killing time on the subway:
The Nutritional Benefits of Nose Picking;
Perfecting the Art of Fart Projection (NEVER be blamed again!);
How to Murder a Complete Stranger (and get away with it) [paging scarabic]. These and other eyebrow-raising books can be yours, assuming you already have a book that you can put these dustjackets on.
