The Abandoned Quonset Hut.

I imagine this as a thriller, perhaps in the vein of The Thing. Or it could be a cosy catastrophe, with military survivors or something. I definitely think it should take place above 60 degrees latitude, I don't know why, nor does it matter because it would suck.
The Suicidal Chipmunk
Don't jump pal!, by Cleber Mori
This could be a morality tale à la James Thurber's Fables for Our Times, but not like David Sedaris' more recent animal stories, which I don't like. Though, since this is a book that should never be written, maybe the Sedaris stories are the model. I don't see how this book could be anything but terrible.
Aerial Application
The title refers to the fancy way of saying "crop dusting," a mode of expression with which I became familiar in childhood from driving past a school for it in LaSalle, Colorado. But I think the book would be about a fraught romance between two trapeze artists. And it would be unspeakably foul.

"Aerial Application"
That's too funny :-D
I can just imagine creepy acrobats in spandex.
"The first time he saw her from above, suspended..."
It's so awful.
Aerial Application brought to mind ointments and rashes for me. I imagine there are some trapeze specific skin afflictions out there.
Maybe they could rub ointment on each other after they both--with deep symbolism--fall into the net.
Aerial Application reminds me of the scene from "North by Northwest". Maybe it's a murder mystery?
But that might actually be GOOD. I think using the title metaphorically and having it be about the trapeze artist love guarantees the book will be crappy.
A how-to book for those seeking careers in the burgeoning field of whip antenna installation.

Snortle. Can it be a romance between two such people, in order to make it really bad?
Probably not. Whip antenna installer is less a profession and more a calling requiring, much like the priesthood, a devotion that in most cases includes a vow of celibacy. However, I could see a heartwrenching literary conflict betwixt the installers' love of their craft and the tug of fleshly desires.

THAT would indeed be terrible, and should never be written.
