Is There a Doctor in the House?
Say you’re at a party. You’ve had a martini or three, and you mingle through the crowd, wondering how long you need to stay before going out for pizza. Suddenly you’re introduced to someone new, Dr. Nice Tomeetya. You forget the pizza. Now is the perfect time to bring up all those strange questions you’d like to ask during an office visit with your own doctor but haven’t had the guts (or more likely the time) to do so. You’re filled with liquid courage . . . now is your chance! If you’ve ever wanted to ask a doctor . . .
•How do people in wheelchairs have sex?
•Why do I get a killer headache when I suck down my milkshake too fast?
•Can I lose my contact lens inside my head forever?
•Why does asparagus make my pee smell?
•Why do old people grow hair on their ears?
•Is the old adage “beer before liquor, never sicker, liquor before beer . . .” really true?
. . . then Why Do Men Have Nipples? is the book for you.
Compiled by Billy Goldberg, an emergency medicine physician, and Mark Leyner, bestselling author and well-known satirist, Why Do Men Have Nipples? offers real factual and really funny answers to some of the big questions about the oddities of our bodies.

 Some Answers to Odd Questions October 20, 2009
JMack (Chicago)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Nobody is going to write their dissertation based on the information in this book. At least, we should all hope we never see a doctor that used this plan. In some cases, the authors take time to answer questions about medical or anatomical oddities. Other times, they prefer to write a witty remark. Including the "instant messaging" between authors, there is a lot of fluff in this book. Still, it is an amusing and educational read.
The book is most suited to be a coffee table book or perhaps toilet reading. A reader probably should not try to read this book in only a few sittings. It is best digested a little at a time. I have not fact checked the statements in this book for validity, though I suspect others have. Even if there are flaws, I suspect few people would walk away from this book without learning something.
 I expected more October 6, 2009
Tessa (Topeka, KS USA)
I really just expected more. The questions weren't very exciting, and I knew the answers to many of the questions on my own. The answers given were also usually incredibly complicated with little to no explanation.
The really annoying thing was that the authors threw in lots of little bits of meaningless conversation they shared while writing the book.
Overall it was a waste of my time and money.
What a massive disappointment September 29, 2009

This is the kind of book I love. Short and pithy tidbits of arcane and esoteric knowledge. Except I didn't.
This book repeatedly brought to mind Woody Allen's disparaging line about a restaurant, "The food stinks and the portions are small." The content wasn't very good, and I can't say I wish there had been more, but wow, were there very few words on these very small pages, and even then, those words were just not very interesting. Smarmy, condescending, dull, irritating, and utterly pointless, the majority of this book left me plodding along in cold silence. Two guys who think very highly of themselves, enjoying the inside jokes and gleeful backslapping of smug teenagers laughing at fart jokes. Whoop-de-friggin-do.
 Funny September 20, 2009
Emily T. Hutfloetz
This books answers some very funny but important life questions. Answers are great and include a little humor to make the book interesting. Great "emergency" book for bathroom or car.
Great Book for Those Who Are Curious September 14, 2009
K. Davis (Daleville, AL USA)
I read a LOT of bathroom reader-type books and this one was one of the best. It's very short, but was definitely worth reading.
