Coming SometimeTo A Shelf Near You: The "No Duh, Ah Crud Application Bible"

In one of the small groups that I am a part of, we talk about what we have been reading in the Bible over the past week, and what God has spoken to us through it. So many times, week after week, we say something to the effect of "I was reading about _________, and how he did _________. I thought 'Man, what a moron for doing that and ignoring what God said.' And then I was thought 'Ah Crud! How many times have I done the same thing?" The "No Duh, Ah Crud Application Bible" would have extra room in the margin for the reader to record their own "Ah Crud" moments.
Also, one of the guys said that he would like to place "No Duh" after certain statements that are in the Bible that seem to be understated, such as John 4, where Jesus has traveled all the way the from Judea to Samaria, and it says in verse 6 that he was "wearied" from the journey (No Duh).
Look for this to hit shelves as soon as I understand how publishing works.
