Twitter Wit

Twitter is many things to many people. To those who don't use the service, it's a means by which self-aggrandizing narcissists talk about their turkey sandwiches. By the way, I did have a turkey sandwich for lunch today, with fresh avocado. It was delicious. But to those who use it regularly, Twitter is a cool way to tell people about those little things, the ones that are too short for a blog post and not important enough for an email, and which are likely forgotten over a beer, but which are insanely funny or relevant right now. They are the little annoyances, joys, or in the case of the new book "Twitter Wit"—witticisms that usually go by the wayside.

Twitter is chock-full of wit, and there just so happens to be a nice little book devoted to sharing The Funny on The Twitter. It's 162 pages of things people have said on Twitter that will probably make you laugh, or at the very least crack a smirk. If you're a Twitter user, you'll find hundreds of great new people to follow. If you're not you'll find hundreds of reasons you should be.*

Far be it for me to recommend the quintessential bathroom book, but if ever there was a book designed for quick laughs for hopefully regular intervals when you have a few minutes of private peace and respite; this is it. Just don't tell anyone you heard it from me.

Get your copy at Amazon.com for cheap. Buy it as a gift or buy it for yourself. Just buy it! Oh, and you should follow me on Twitter as well.

*Especially on pages 21 and 146 where you'll find some choice contributions by yours truly.
