Below is the actual Acknowledgement featured in the book:

If I had read this book when I was a young man (and not grown the moustache) I feel I would have been a better person and the world would have been spared the horrors of World War II. (I blame the moustache.)

ADOLPH HITLER (Amateur artist / professional dictator.)

This book changed my life.  After reading it I abstained from gambling, tobacco and alcohol.  I stopped beating my wife and children.  Now I am a pillar of the community.  Today I am a freemason AND a member of the rotary club. And I owe it all to this book.

Judas O’Malley (estate agent and weekend transvestite.)

First time I read this book it made no sense. Then a friend pointed out that I was reading the book back to front.  Suddenly my life changed. Now everything I read makes sense and I owe it all to this book.

ALBERT SLUGANO (Abattoir worker and avid collector of fine china and porcelain.)

After years of deep depression and many unsuccessful suicide attempts, (how was I to know it was an electric oven?) my life has changed and I owe it all to this book.  Now I have a spring in my step, a smile on my lips and a tapeworm in my intestines. 

 MRS HANK E PANKIE (USA housewife and part-time contract killer.)

After reading this book I was reminded of the old Chinese saying “Man like cheap electric light bulb,-hang round house all day then go out at night.”

PADDY MC WOO (Dry cleaner and drug runner.)

In the world of literature a few books stand out, ‘The Bible, The Koran, Shakespeare, -The Beano Annual (1972.) In time I feel that this book, or one like it (perhaps with a green cover) will join those illustrious ranks.

JOYCE MC PHEARSON (Spinster and proud owner of the world’s oldest haggis.)
