Advantages: there funny
Disadvantages: some people may find them offensive

...dress….you’re not…oh well” There’s loads more in the book, and you’ll probably see them on the front page of mine every now and again. I know their bitchy, but you have to admit there funny! Each page has the same 5 offensive sign’s around it, including the finger sign. My mum isn’t too impressed with the book, as she say’s I’m nasty enough as it is! The cheek of it!
