Bathroom Readers' Institute and Bathroom Readers' Institute

Here it is: the quintessential collection of notable quotes for all occasions. Grouped together in weird categories as only Uncle John could do, you'll find quotes about farts, firsts, dogs, Canada, male chauvinist pigs, colors, TV, aliens, and more! And not just quotes, either - there are great facts, fun quizzes, and a few longer articles about how quotations shape our world. As if that weren't enough, there are a ton of eye-opening new entries for Uncle John's Quotationary. (Love: 'Being stupid together.' - Paul Valery) And to make it easier than ever to find the exact quote you're looking for, there is a by-subject index as well a by-name index. Here are but a few of the thousands of great quotations awaiting you:
