Oddest booktitle of the year

    I’ve been reading the Guardian late at night after working long hours and before I shut down the laptop, and came across this delightful article (avoiding any news that would give me nightmares):
    www.theguardian.com/books/2017/jul/07/shortlist-for-2017s-oddest-book-title-award-diagram-prize

    There is an annual prize for the oddest booktitle of the year, and boy I don’t need any make-up remover tonight, because I laughed so hard that not a trace of eyeliner is left.

    I actually didn’t know that anyone could dream up such book titles, like:

    Nipples on my knee
    The commuter pig keeper
    How to avoid huge ships
    The Madam as Entrepreneur: Career Management in House Prostitution
    Oral Sadism and the Vegetarian Personality
    American Bottom Archaeology
    Reusing Old Graves: A Report on Popular British Attitudes
    Designing High Performance Stiffened Structures
    How to Poo on a Date

    There are many more, and they are all real.
    Google "Bookseller Diagram Prize for Oddest Title of the Year"

    Now I’m thinking about to write a book with a fetching title. I’d like to get that prize (it’s a bottle of Claret). But I can’t come up with anything at this hour.

    Any suggestions?

    I assume it tells you how to find a date who is into that type of thing.
