( ) If you are looking for deep reading, this is not the book for you. If you are enjoy reading about the stupidity of others, and enjoy mind-numbing shows such as "World's Dumbest...." then this IS the book for you. This book contains page after page of the dumb and idiotic actions of others. Fortunatly for society on the whole, many of the individuals will not be pro-creating, so in a sense it also reads like one of the "Darwin Awards" series. Also included are examples of unintentionally funny newspaper headlines, ironic names of criminals (ex. a woman arrested on drug charges has the last name of "Smoker.") Let me repeat, this is not high-brow literature, but it is pretty funny bathroom worthy reading. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Some wonder why and some wonder why not. But it's the latter ones who make you scratch your head and say, 'What in the world were you thinking?'" Former Saturday Night Live writer Leland Gregory skewers cruel crooks and the idiotically inane. From absurd 911 calls to presidential philosophizing and political pandering to foolish felons, Leland Gregory generates the best laughs by exposing the worst of human nature. Inside this collection, Gregory offers more than 275 accounts of human stupidity at its most malicious and peculiar: * In August 2006, 40-year-old Darrel Rodgers was treated at a Bloomington, Indiana, hospital for a self-inflicted gunshot wound to his left knee. Rogers explained that he shot himself seeking to relieve the pain in his knee, which probably stemmed from shooting himself in the same knee ten years earlier. * And, because some of the stories are just that unbelievable, each anecdote, quote, or factoid is presented with relevant background information--including its verified news source.
