If You Want Closure In Your Relationship, Start With Your Legs

Legs manual wins odd title prize
|
|||
A self-help guide called If You Want Closure In Your Relationship, Start With Your Legs has been voted the oddest book title of the year.
The book beat off competition from I Was Tortured By the Pygmy Love Queen to win The Bookseller magazine's prize. Cheese Problems Solved took third place in a poll which attracted 8,500 votes. Joel Rickett, deputy editor of The Bookseller, said of the winner: "So effective is the title that you don't even need to read the book itself."
He added that it "makes redundant an entire genre of self-help tomes". The manual, whose author is named Big Boom, is described as a "self-help book, written by a man for the benefit of women". Bookseller's contest began in 1978, and the roll-call of previous winners includes High Performance Stiffened Structures, Living with Crazy Buttocks and How To Avoid Huge Ships.

I thought this was quite amusing, particularly when you read the SELECTION OF PAST WINNERS! Not to mention the titles which were 'beaten off' :D

But hopelessly.devo, the book is about Closure on a relationship ...NOT on how to attract a man lmao

LOL jauntie, I use my ...LOL jauntie, I use my eyes as a weapon in everything in my life. I win whatever just by looking straight into the eyes. This will confuse anyone and distract him from the major point. LOL
the book is written by a man for crying out loud LOL so sure he will seek perfection in every word he wrote regarding legs.

hey hopelessly.devo ...I think one, or both, of us has missed the point of the manual.
It's described as "a self-help book, written by a man for the benefit of women".
And if the title means what I think it means and has a DOUBLE meaning, then what he's saying is that the only effective way to get 'closure' in a relationship is to start by 'closing' your legs!!!!
i.e. shut off that part of the relationship first lol
I may be wrong (I often am, and read too much into the words - comes from doing cryptic crosswords) but that's how I read it when I looked back on it :D
"Joel Rickett, deputy editor of The Bookseller, said of the winner: "So effective is the title that you don't even need to read the book itself." "

No jauntie, maybe you are ...No jauntie, maybe you are right, but I thought to drop a joke just to put a smile on your face. LOL
