One of my colleagues is in the process of writing a textbook. They sent him a couple examples of the cover art. The final choice was a cover with a pair of blue-footed boobies on it.
I guess he was still unsure about the cover choice; he was taking it (and the alternate cover) around in the department and showing it to all of us and asking our opinions. (I liked the chosen cover a lot better than the reject; the rejected cover was dark and murky and had sort of unnatural colors on it).
I told him I liked the chosen cover. And I added, "And now, you can tell everyone you wrote a book that has *boobies* on the cover!"
He didn't think that was nearly as funny as I did.

Sounds like the kind of text book that Beavis and Butthead would want to look at. Of course, they would be dissapointed when Mr. Van Driesen explained to them what a blue footed boobie actually is.
only a woman can crack jokes about boobies, lol.
