Because Google Books are using all my reviews to sell books when I have denied permission, and since they only quote the first few lines, this entire review is in spoilers.

Everything you ever wanted to know (or possibly not, or possibly everything you wouldn't want anyone to know that you actually wanted to know) about building a bong, or how to have a puff when you don't have any papers. This boys-own type book gives instructions for building bongs from tampon applicators to litre-size soda bottles. Its quite startling to think of the amount of research that went into this book. I do hope that is was strictly for medical purposes only!

Very silly! I don't know how helpful this book would actually be to anyone, but it certainly is very entertaining!

The bong made out of one of those bear-shaped honey containers is just adorable! The tampon bong, not so much.

Most of the things in this book are much more complicated than most people will be willing to do, but it would definitely be a great gag gift. This book shows you how to make some interesting pieces out of your typical home department supplies. But if you don't want to do it yourself, you can contact Al Fakher Great quality, good prices!!

A good book never thought that smoking is such a big culture

Well, for me, it's more like this . . .



But, I noticed this title when I was perusing my husband's woodworking book shelf. Hmm . . .

There are SO MANY do-it-yourself bongs here! The instructions and diagrams seem pretty clear. Many of the bongs, pipes, and hookahs need no special skills or tools - such as the paper towel tube Steamroller. A trip to Home Depot will be required to construct the Horizontal Hookah, however.

My favorites are the simplest, made from objects found around around the home - a tampon applicator, a rubber ducky, and a honey bear.



I am sorry, but the Book Hookah is just wrong! Drilling holes in books is a big NO-NO. Unless you use a Reader's Digest Condensed Book. Then it's okay.

And all this time I've been wondering why my hubby keeps a coconut in the garage. . .

And I thought they were just after the cracked corn.
