Some would say they go together like peanut butter and jelly ... or maybe not.
A children's book called "Hookers and Blow Save Christmas" is tearing up the amazon charts, just in time for the holidays.
What's it about? Hold on a second ... Yes, it's exactly what you would expect.
It's about poor Tom Transport, who is stuck in a snowdrift with all the presents for the town Christmas party, and the only thing that can save the gifts is a friendly Hookers the tow truck and Blow the snowblower, who work together to make their way through the snow to save the day....and the party!
What did you think it was going to be about?
It's ranked at 146th on the Children's Christmas Books list on Amazon, which carries millions of titles.
One Amazon reviewer gave it four stars writing, "Some of my fondest childhood memories are of my dear Granddad sitting me on his knee and telling me stories about Hookers and Blow. Now, with this beautiful book, I can pass those memories along to my own grandchildren."

Others weren't so amused. A one-star reviewer wrote, "There's no two ways about it , that's slang for prostitution and cocaine - and in a children's book. I can imagine the author's drug-fueled laughter as it imagines children asking Mom and Dad for 'Hookers and Blow' for Christmas. What's next? Peanut Butter and Mayo Clean Up Skid Row? Barbie Visits The Clinic?"
Amazon says the book is frequently paired with "Fritz the farting reindeer," natch. The paperback sells for $9.99.
This goes alongside other "kid's books that make adults laugh while they read it," including the ever-popular "Go the F to Sleep."
