Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

For 25 years, there's always been a home in Uncle John's Bathroom Reader for those times in life you wish you could take back--"oops" moments, embarrassing accidents, spectacular failures. Because we never get tired of reading about unfortunate accidents (as long as they're happening to someone else), here is a whole book of "the best of the worst," the troubling and funny stories of things got terribly awry.

Read all about

- The father who insisted on carving the Thanksgiving turkey with a buzz-saw

- The man who tried to rid his house of bees...with fire

- The surgeon who performed the wrong surgery on a patient...twice

- And embarrassing tales of the emergency room, such as the man who used a table saw in the nude, accidentally nicked his private parts, and tried to staple gun everything back together.
