The Hardness Factor

Ah.... I could go anywhere with that title. ANYWHERE!
Instead, I will go here:

Do they really expect people to come in and ask the chick behind the counter for The Hardness Factor: How to Achieve Your Best Health and Sexual Fitness at Any Age? Apparently they do. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for sexual fitness and hardness! However, I do not relish the thought of the 62 year old man looking for an alternative to Viagra, asking me for "that hard book, about sex" b/c you know that's going to happen.
Now the 28 year old hottie sporting the "I'm Rich and Have a Huge Penis" shirt today? Here's a title for you: Lies: And the Lying Liars Who Tell Them

(btw - type in "lie" as the keyword search on your favorite book buying website, and 4 of the top 10 books listed will be romances.... this does amuse me)

There was a time when I had to promote a title when I answered the phone. That time ended when I had to suggest 101 Nights of Great Sex during February for Valentine's Day.
"Thank you for calling (bookstore) where 101 Nights of Great Sex is currently 20% off. This is Cindy speaking, how may I help you?"
No. Seriously.

LOL! Funny and strange!

You have it rough. It's unfortunate that the titles that are eye-catching are also the ones least likely to be asked for.

It could be worse, your name could be 'Candy'.
