It may seem to be a very simple concept but, believe it or not there’s a book written on this subject.
The really funny part is the review section.
I bought How to Avoid Huge Ships as a companion to Captain Trimmer’s other excellent titles: How to Avoid a Train, and How to Avoid the Empire State Building. These books are fast paced, well written and the hard won knowledge found in them is as inspirational as it is informational. After reading them I haven’t been hit by anything bigger than a diesel bus. Thanks captain!
There’s more, just go to the review section

KF, there are 36 pages of these reviews! I just got thru 2 pages and had to stop. I found myself depleted of oxygen from laughing!
Besides, I think I heard a fog horn … now I’m scared it’s a huge ship!

Next time I’ll put something in the first line to let people know it’s a funny topic and I haven’t accidentally taken a whole bottle of Algore’s Boredom Elixir & Sleep Aid
