Dumb, dumber, dumbest : true news of the world's least competent people

Gathers more than five hundred true stories categorized under such headings as "mensa rejects" and "dumb happens". 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.

The authors of News of the Weird now present more than 500 hilarious, true-life stories of human feeble-mindedness. From the two school janitors who succeeded in blowing up a school while trying to freeze a gopher to the man who was arrested for carrying a gym-bag full of marijauna into his court hearing on theft charges, this treasury of rib-tickling dimwittedness is unsurpassed.
