How to annoy your teachers

This is book is basically a joke book about teachers. It has instructions to tell you how to make cool yet annoying things like spits balls. They also have pranks to play on your teachers and they teach you how to make bloody eyeballs! It also tells us funny facts about history that are true that can really frustrate your teachers, for example Barak Obama used to work selling ice cream. Sow when you have a teacher telling you how brilliant he is you can let them know that selling ice cream is not the mark of a brilliant man. They have a list of funny names that you can change yours to as well as a bunch of excuses for late homework. They also have a whole list of funny questions that you can ask your teachers which can really iritate them! The funny thing is that at the end of the book it says that "Be careful and don't get detention". At the start it says that " Beware these jokes can get you suspended".

I really like this book because I am a funny person and I am not a real fan of reading but funny books are my type!
I really recommend this book to people who like jokes but still will have a sense of seriousness in themselves because if you do these then you will get expelled! But for those people who don't like long books and like books that cut-to-the-chase then this is not a book for you.
Have fun reading!
