This book is like the Darwin Awards, only without all the death. This can be both a good thing and a bad thing. Ross and Kathryn Petras have published several collections similar to The Lexicon of Stupidity. The 776 Stupidest Things Ever Said was quite honestly one of the most educational books I've ever read.

A funny book of quotes ,divided into sections.All pretty amusing.Everyone says something that doesn't come out right at some point.The funniest stuff comes from the folks "running" our country.Some of the dumbest of the dumb.I'm just getting started on this.I wish I had something like this when I was finding a quote for my year book.If you know anyone that's in high school,get them this book.
