For IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

NEW HUMOR BOOK UNLEASHED ON PUBLIC BY JOE WANG:
THE FIRST BOOK OF TASTELESS FORTUNE COOKIE FORTUNES

CARLSBAD, CA – March 15, 2005 – Private Garden Press announced today the publication of:

THE FIRST BOOK OF TASTELESS FORTUNE COOKIE FORTUNES, by Joe Wang.

Everyone loves fortune cookies? Just wait until you read these! According to the book, Joe Wang worked for 36 years at a famous Chinese fortune cookie manufacturing company writing fortunes -- like the ones you get in cookies at Chinese food restaurants. He writes that at his company, fortunes had to be approved by the Fortune Approval Committee. Over the years, for various reasons, the Fortune Approval Committee rejected certain fortunes. Secretly, he collected these fortunes. This book purports to contain some of the fortunes rejected by the Fortune Approval Committee as ‘Tasteless,’ meaning offensive, tactless, insensitive or just plain vulgar.

The book has already received some ringing endorsements from nationally recognized comedians and humorists, including:

"I laughed out loud when I read this book, Then I laughed out loud again when I read them to my wife. Great job, Joe!" - Bill Engvall (Comedian, author and star of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour)

"Refreshingly G-rated, it's perfect for that most important bookshelf: Yes, those leather bound tomes in the formal 'study' may impress your guests, but a book in the bathroom is the one that actually gets read!" - Tim Sample (Humorist and author).

Sure to make readers twist, giggle, laugh and groan, it is also a perfect gift book.

Here are a few samples:

“That which you admire the most about yourself will wrinkle and shrivel.”

“You will eventually get used to your spouse’s cross-dressing.”

“After the lightning strikes, not even professional counseling will help.“

“Your lawyer will get everything you own.”

Available now at Amazon.com and soon available at Barnes & Noble.
