I can tear a phone book in half...


When I was a , it was a really big deal.
You could see in newspapers and magazines photos of 'muscle men' advertising body building products and to show off their strength, they would tear a 3" thick phone book in half !

In addition to brute strength, there was a secret to tearing a phone book that involved folding the book in the middle so when you pulled it back from the crease line (you created) it would tear the pages individually and start a domino effect. This way, you weren't actually tearing all the pages at the exact time.

I have several phone lines at home and because of this, I often receive duplicates of phone books. Since fewer people are listed in the phone book, they have become smaller... much smaller. I estimate them to be around 3/8" thick now.

Cleaning out some things last year, I came across a stack of unused phone books... you know I had to try it and it worked. I was able to use the same technique of creasing the pages and pulling back and tore a phone book in half with my bare hands !!
