Stupidity is not illegal

This book would make a great stocking stuffer for your pal Bubba,who hasn't read a book since he got out of Middle School.The reason he didn't go to High School was he never came across anyone who he thought it did any good. Almost anyone will get a chuckle out of these little stories;although our pal Bubba may have trouble "getting" some of them;and there will be others that will have him asking;"What's funny about that?"
Most of the stories are short enough to be read in 30 seconds,unless the simplest idea leaves one with the sense of stupefaction.
Here's one that gives you a flavor of the book. Try this one on Bubba and you'll get my point.

"F.Edward Hebert of the House Armed Services Committee,who said,"The only way we'll get a volunteer army is to draft them."
Wait for Bubba's studious comment;

"Who is F.Edward Hebert?"
or,
"Well isn't it?
or,
"Who organized that committee;it must'a been set up by our dumb Mayor Zeke,and he's probably got his friends and relatives on it?"
or,
"I agree;who's gonna volunteer for the army,they gotta pay them;any dummy can tell ya that!"
Or maybe he'll just look at you in complere bafflement and say;
"I don't get it!"

Another reviewer gave Einstein's of infinity.Here are a couple of thoughts on Stupidity;

"If you're Ignorant,you can always learn;but if you're Stupid,its
permanent."

"Stupidity has a certain charm.Ignorance does not."

"Stupidity often saves a man from going mad."

"When a man does does a thoroughly stupid thing,it is always from the
noblest motives."

Not everybody gave this little tome a high rating;nor do I suppose Bubba would!

dumb de dumb dumb

I believe it was Einstein who said that only two things were infinite, the universe and human stupidity. Enterprising writers have turned the latter into a cottage industry, News of the Weird and The Darwin Awards being two of the more well-known examples. This book is a worthy contender, with nearly 250 pages of prime Grade-A idiocy. While I've docked it one star for lack of documentation (I suspect a few fictional and/or urban legend stories may have snuck in), those merely looking for a good laugh at the expense of other members of our highly-evolved(?) species will get their money's worth. Categorized into 12 chapters, each of which could probably have been a book in itself.

Hey, Idiot is funny and light reading!

I found this book both funny and light reading. It was perfect for the time when you don't want to get into a novel or don't have the time. Some of the people do the darndest things. Makes you wonder how the human race ever got this far. I recommend it as long as you don't take humanity too seriously.

It¿s not feelings of superiority that make us suspect the universe is filled with dumb people: The universe really is filled with dumb people, as it¿s easy to see in the pages of Leland Gregory¿s sharp new offering, Hey Idiot!Gregory, a former Saturday Night Live writer, is the smart cookie who¿s previously showed us gray matter¿challenged examples in everything from the criminal world to the hallowed halls of government. This time, though, everyone, everywhere is fair game if they¿ve exhibited outrageously stupid behavior.Consider: The forgetful fireman who left cooking oil on the stove and returned from a call to find the station house burned to the ground.A lung cancer patient who caused an explosion when he lit up a cigarette¿in his oxygen tent.A 58-year-old billiards player who was suspended from competition after testing positive for a muscle-building hormone.F. Edward Hebert, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, who said, ¿The only way we¿ll get a volunteer army is to draft them.¿Hey Idiot! lets everyone from bosses to public officials, doctors to sports heroes, skewer themselves with their moronic words and action. Readers¿and there are loads of them who can¿t turn away from ¿America¿s funniest and dumbest¿ TV shows¿will howl with laughter at the more than 200 examples of boneheadedness and buffoonery. Potential readers are also guaranteed to hear about Hey Idiot! since the only thing Gregory does better than tracking nitwits and nincompoops is to appear on high-profile programs such as the Today show, Inside Edition, and on MSNBC to plug his highly readable books. Wise up and don¿t miss Hey Idiot! Stupid sells.
