About this Book

Compiled from legitimate news sources around the world by John J. Kohut and Roland Sweet, those weirdos who brought you Stupid Government Tricks and News from the Fringe, this uproarious book is a guided tour through the hilarious halls of buffoonery and incompetence. Each of the more than 500 true stories of unsurpassed stupidity falls within an appropriately defined category, such as "Dumb Happens", "How the Dumb Live", "Mensa Rejects", and "Dumb with Attitude". You will marvel at such epic acts of dopiness as the farm worker whose toothache drove him to fire a pistol into his mouth; the prison inmates who drove nails into their heads to avoid hard labor; the police officer who was suspended for crossing his sevens; the man in China who kept a 66-mm antitank rocket on his TV as a "knick-knack"; the psychiatrist whose patients drove him nuts; and the young Illinois woman who got lost while job hunting - and ended up in Maine.
