This book taught me about the multi-faceted nature of stupidity. For God's sake, stupidity is even alphabetized in the book! Also, if you're still skeptical about reading this, at least pick it up for Bush Sr.'s quote from a speech that includes both "cry for me Argentina" and "Lincoln."

A quick and amusing read with entries on a variety of subjects including Fame, Hard Times, and Gameshow Contestants' Knowledge of Zoology.

Quick read of some of the stupid things people have said. Really enjoyed the section of things people had actually said during a job interview and the questions some (prospective) employers had actually asked. Great. A little crude in some parts, though, so I took off 1 star.

As if I needed reminders of how ridiculous humans are, this book lit up my friends with laughter. Just passing it around brought tears to our eyes.
