Gauracandra Posted December 27, 2002 Report Share Posted December 27, 2002 If this is all it takes to get into the newspaper, I should have done this long ago. Andy Warhol was right - everyone will have their 15 minutes of fame /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Couple Writes Book on How Men Take Care of Themselves Without Women _ It's 96 Blank Pages The Associated Press STAYTON, Ore. Dec. 26 — Jordan and Lindy Schweiger have written a book that can be read in one sitting in one moment, actually. "Everything Men Knew About Taking Care of Themselves Before Women Came Along" is the name of the 96-page book. As most women could guess, all of the pages are blank. The Schweigers who publish under the pseudonym Dr. Ever E. Mann came up with the idea when they heard about a similar blank work. The couple surveyed people at shopping malls in Texas, where they lived at the time, to come up with a title for their book. When they considered what to do with money from the sales, they realized they wanted to help a charity. The result: 100 percent of the book's profits will go to the Mid-Valley Women's Crisis Service in Salem, which provides assistance to women and children who survive domestic violence. "We're making fun of men, but the reality is, there's a serious problem," said Lindy Schweiger, 20. The Schweigers were students at Oregon State University until spring, when they quit school and their jobs to move to Texas. They recently returned to Oregon, settling in Stayton. They are trying out entrepreneurial ideas and want to write more books in the future, maybe even with words in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
