Fun game: Try reading it all the way through without laughing. If you fail, post how far you got. I got to I:8 before cracking up.

History of this:
In my article "One Bird in Flight" (which explains the system of the Great Beige Brotherhood), I made reference to The Book of the In-Laws and quoted a couple of passages from it.
Craig Berry then took this and ran with it - writing the whole book.
Since, when he wrote the book, he didn't include everything that I'd quoted from the book, we had the pleasure of immediately starting religious wars (OK, skirmishes) on the issue of scriptural integrity of The Book of the In-Laws. To me, this granted it true authenticity as a genuinely genuine religious document.

I always wondered who was behind this - it's very clever. Jim, is "One Bird in Flight" publicly available?

I thought it was on the forum, but I guess not.

Couldn't get beyond I:6 without giggling. It's fantastic to be able to laugh at one's own religion! And yet there seem to be hidden truths in all the humor!
Thanks so much to those who contributed to this.

I staved off laugher until this and then cracked up.
"14. There once was a Goddess, Nuit,
Who dated a God named Hadit.
When Ankh-af-na-khonsu
Saw what they were up to
He shouted "Hail Ra-hoor-khuit!"" -
Submitted to severe laughter spasms and stomach ache after first paragraph. Great stuff!
