I thought White Elephant meant something that was essentially useless or you didn’t quite know what to do with it. This year my White Elephant gift was a book called What’s Your Poo Telling You by Josh Richman and Anish Sheth, illustrated (yes, illustrated) by Peter Arkle.
This was not something that was high on my wish list. Nonetheless, I now own my very own copy. It covers such topics as Monster Poo, Performance Enhancing Poo, Number Three, Soft Serve, Green Goblin, Log Jam, Hanging Chad, Clean Sweep, and other fun topics. Who knew poo had such variety?
The book itself is brown and had this strange smear on the front that I HOPE is some benign substance the publisher added for effect. I’m just a little bit leery to give it a scrape with my fingernail. In any event, if I need a regift for some suitable event, I have just the item...
Everyone else got boring stuff like gift cards, baskets of toiletries, or specialty coffees and teas. Lucky me, I got this book!
