THIS BOOK has airline acromyms, tongue twisters, things invented by women and the working titles of Beatles songs. There are also celebrities who own islands/went bankrupt/had liposuction/survived helicopter crashes/had hotel suites named after them/married (and divorced) their childhood sweethearts.
