Have you heard the one about the woman who groped a complete stranger at the airport, thinking it was her boyfriend?
The small town with two brothers, surname Death, one of whom married a Graves and the other a Coffin?
The woman who dialled directory looking for a number for Weight Watchers and was given the number for
Whale Watch Kaikoura?
Truth is stranger - and funnier - than fiction and this collection of true stories and pictures from real New
Zealanders will be sure to raise a laugh.
Drawn from the NZ Herald's daily Sideswipe column, a collection of funny stories, photographs and bizarre
true-life experiences covers situations we've all been in - strange job interviews, bad dates, dealing with real
estate agents, impossible spouses and embarrassing children. It's something to dip into and pull out a smile every time.
