DO ANTS HAVE ARSEHOLES?
And 101 other bloody ridiculous questions
DO ANTS HAVE ARSEHOLES?

Has now sold 250,000 copies in the UK alone.

A hilarious, hugely entertaining spoof of the vastly successful Why Don’t Penguins’ Feet Freeze?

  • When signmakers go on strike, do they carry signs?
  • If one synchronised swimmer drowns, do they all drown?
  • Why do socks go missing in the wash?
  • Why isn't there mouse-flavoured cat food?
  • Is it possible to bore someone to death?

The readers of Old Git magazine are a confused, befuddled, and pedantic bunch, who seem to spend a significant chunk of their spare time corresponding with the publication’s popular ‘Corrections and Clarfications’ pages. DO ANTS HAVE ARSEHOLES is a very funny collection of questions and answers taken from this column, none of which have any basis whatsoever in fact. A must for all those who relish a heady mixture of shaggy-dog stories, toilet humour, and utter lack of insight.

‘Outrageously cynical.’ Guardian

‘A very funny spoof of pop-science collections.’ The Telegraph

‘Every Christmas, one funny book seems to stand out from all the others. This year it’s Do Ants Have Arseholes, a rip-roaring parody. The questions alone are comic enough but some of their answers are inspired.’The Spectator

DO BATS HAVE BOLLOCKS?
And 101 more utterly stupid questions
DO BATS HAVE BOLLOCKS?

With bags more rude jokes, shaggy dog stories and the odd entry from a new, bewildered editor who’s wondering what the hell he’s got himself into, this book is every bit as laugh-out-loud funny as DO ANTS HAVE ARSEHOLES?

Another top-ten Sunday Times bestseller.
