Blank sex book is a bestseller

Monday, March 7, 2011
A 200-page blank book titled What Every Man Thinks About Apart From Sex has sold out on Amazon.

But what was intended as a novelty gift, which is being sold for about $7.50, is being used by students as a notebook in the UK.

"I bought a copy for my mate as a joke and he started using it as a notepad for lectures," University of Nottingham student Jess Lloyd told the UK's Daily Telegraph. "Now everyone seems to have one. It's started a real craze on campus."

The book's author, Oxford University graduate Sheridan Simove, also heavily promoted the book in student unions.

"In a sense they are proving me wrong by filling my book with content," Simove said. "But I wonder how many of them go back to thinking about sex once the lecture is over. I'd be willing to bet that answer is 100 percent.

"After many years of hard work I finally realised that men think of absolutely nothing apart from sex. It was a shocking conclusion and I realised that the world needed to be informed of my findings."

Simove is stoked that his book outsold many academic works by authors who claim to have worked even harder on their groundbreaking studies.

His next research project is a PhD on the subject of what women think apart from sex.

This time RALPH expects the book to be 1000 pages of text.

That is an easy one to answer, kids, money, parents, bills, washing, ironing, car maintence, house maintenance, & just about all things that are linked with running a family! It actually amazes me that many women have the time to even go to work with all these other things on their plate they have to do.
Half my thoughts are about sex. Some women like it. lol
BLOODY EVERYTHING
Women think about....love, relationships, what to eat for dinner, why am I fat?, who made the mess, why do I have to clean it up?, relationships, love, money, bills, sex, hair, fashion, reading, relationships.....and a million other things..all before breakfast!
Oh, women think a lot....about how they look, what to wear, what to cook for dinner...just so much occupies our mind. That book will be brimming with women's thoughts so a thousand pages is about right! lol
The 3 main things a woman thinks about 1 A man. 2 His money. 3 How to separate them.
They should change the title to 'What Women Think About During Sex' (still equally as long)....having to still do the dishes...if they have clothes ready for work tomorrow...did they put the bin out...etc
He's now working on "What Every Woman Thinks about apart from Sex"?! Make sure it's got very miniscule printing of unreadable codes.
Funny to some degree, but what if the shoe was on the other foot, title it "intelligent ideas by women" and have it blank, I'm sure it would be all over the news and complaints made left right and centre.
crap people will buy crap things, yes they will
