Come to think of it, it's the reason I read it in the first place, myself.

I challenge you to read the first chapter. If you haven't laughed out loud at least twice, then give it a rest.

I bet you will, though.
hm, perhaps i should read "Have Space Suit" because i love Three men in a boat so much.

i agree about the challenge. i suspect anyone who doesn't laugh out loud reading three men in a boat is actually dead. or at least unconscious.
