Just what it says on the tin: post some things that make you smile. Things are annoying enough nowadays that we should share some laughs!
I'll start off the insanity with a list of book titles that I found amusing. Please note, these are actual published books!

The Romance of Leprosy by E. Mackerchar (1949)
The Baby Jesus Touch and Feel Book by Linda Parry and Alan Parry (1995)
Constipation and Civilization by J.C. Thomson (1943)
Of course, any such list of crazy book titles could hardly be comprehensive, which is why I have more to list.
