The Guinness Book of World Records is an amazing thing. It’s the one way to become famous by excelling at something that’s really not at all that impressive. Ask the guy that caught the most balls with his mouth in two minutes how many times someone walked up to him and said: “are you that bloke who does things to balls with his mouth?” I can personally guarantee you that the handful of times that it did happen, they weren’t talking about his world record – if you know what I’m saying.
