An excerpt from Live a Little, Laugh a Lot

“A husband and wife in Beijing exchanged organs in a 19-hour operation... Husband Wang received wife’s Hou's female parts, and wife Hou received Wang's male organs in a true scenario of Hou Wanged Who?”

Funny? Yes — and best of all, it's true. Award-winning speaker Barb Bancroft, RN, MSN, PNP, has collected the odd, the bizarre and the downright hysterical (which comes from the Greek word for uterus, by the way) in this wild and wacky volume of medical trivia. And you will laugh until you cry reading this book.

Did you know that vibrators were among the first home appliances that used electricity? Apparently the Victorians weren’t quite as boring in the bedroom as we’ve been lead to believe. But everyone should be especially careful around the bedroom: a 412-pound woman once fell out of bed, hit her head, knocked herself unconscious, and suffocated when her enormous breasts fell across her nose and mouth. Another deadly bedroom fact: a middle-aged man is more likely to die of a heart attack while in the arms of younger lover — particularly one who happens not to be his wife or regular companion. (Wives: you’ll want to be sure to mention this fact frequently to your spouse.)
