The caption contest poll has been pre-empted for something even more exciting this week: Joel from Crummy Church Signs has written a book!
I've said before that I think that Crummy Church Signs has the highest laugh-to-word count ratio of any website I've come across. I think it helps to have grown up with a church background to appreciate some of the confused theology and Sunday school cheesiness, but how can you not laugh at a sign that reads "The size of the tool doesn't matter in The Master's hand" ? (Joel's commentary: "But it's a whole different story if you ask Mrs. The Master.")
For a limited time the book is only $10.99 with FREE shipping, and Joel will autograph it for you! This offer is only available until Nov. 6 at the Humor-Blogs.com store. After that, the price will go up to the regular price of $12.99 PLUS shipping (and no signature...).
Joel sent me a draft a few weeks ago, and Mrs. Diesel and I were laughing ourselves silly over these signs.
Still not convinced? How about this: Joel is giving all the proceeds to charity. As Joel says:
I'll post the caption contest poll tomorrow. If you buy the book.
Compassion is our middle name at humor-blogs.com. That's what the "-" stands for.

With all the psychological damage that these crummy signs have inflicted upon the world, it's time for them to start doing some good. That is why I am donating 100% of my proceeds from the sale of this book to Compassion, a Christian advocacy group for underprivileged kids in third world countries.Come on, how cool is that? You get a signed copy of a hilarious book at a phenomenal price, you get to support a blogger who provides endless entertainment both on his site and here (Joel is a perennial finalist in the caption contests), and you get to help poor kids. What are you waiting for? Buy your copy today!

Very cool. Coincidentally Bossy has just penned a book. With a sharpie... just, you know, wrote all over it...
I bought the book online just now, and was pleasantly smug at discovering that my Canadian dollars are worth more than the Almighty American! heh....hehheheheh...
I am economically challenged and so am open to whatever pokes I get about how detrimental to the Canadian economy our (omnipotent, better-than-U.S.) powerful dollar may actually be.
But I AM fiscally savvy enough to know a good deal when I see it! I'm sure I will enjoy the book very much.
Thanks for the shout-out, Diesel!!
Bossy..that's pretty much how I went about it.
I tell you again: if I actually had money to spend on books, I'd spend it on yours...and now this one.
Well plugged.
Good gracious. The number of published authors that I know has now doubled. No, from 2 to 4. HA!
You even helped him, Dees? You're such a great guy.
Been there, did it.
Very cool! Yay for Joel. I'm going to have to check it out. I've popped by his blog and the church signs just crack me up!
Okay OKAY already!!!! I will wander over to his site and have a look! Sheesh!
Remembering that my Aussie dollar is worthless.... hang on apparently it is not anymore. Must be cause our Prime Minister is your Presidents bitch.....
So if I buy his book, you wanna buy one of my tshirts I just made for my sons party? With conversion, I will probably owe YOU money.... My one is up on my blog right now.
Awesome! I'm for it.
I'll be buying it. I heard it from you first!
lol if i buy the book?
Keshi.
Way to go Joel! HumorBlogs authors will soon be taking over the world.
Ok, I would love to have it. Bet you anything, the ordering-form hasn't been changed to include Iceland though:)
Congrats Joel, I think after three year it is about time and well worth teh printing :)
I'll get my flippers on a copy one way or another!
Stumbled onto the site the other day, fell in love with it! Buying the book for my computer illiterate mother who will NEVER go near this massive peice of machinery or this and doesn't even know how to get to this thing we call the internet!! lol
Thought it was a great Christmas gift though. Thanks!!

My bad...you got paypal now, and I can order!
