Fun in the Extreme!

I really enjoyed many great laughs reading about the truly funny "duh" people and situations. Better than any sit-com! But if you've ever wondered how some of the "duh" and "dastardly" characters end up in management and what havoc they can wreak there, then I'd like to recommend adding not only the well-known Onion, but also one more hilarious, superbly produced book to your reading list..."Management by Vice" (C.B. Don)! There sure is a lot of good "duh" material out there in the workplace!

Absolutely hilarious!

Bob Fenster's DUH is a remarkable piece which demonstrates that the funniest characters are those which are real. Parts of this are absolute screams. DUH would make an excellent Christmas gift for anyone on your list who likes THE ONION, Dave Barry, Jerry Seinfeld, or Monty Python.

The perfect Christmas gift!

If you are looking for the perfect Christmas gift, this one-size-fits-most book is jam packed with delightful gems of human stupidity. It's an easy read filled with one stupid anecdote after another. Designed to keep you in stitches, while at the same time you struggle to accept how totally absurd humans can be, it more than delivers. (The infamous Florida butterfly ballot is destined for a future edition.) Mr. Fenster's "How to Destupify" section is particularly clever and challenging. Bravo to Mr. Fenster for this amusing and entertaining collection of historical, I mean hysterical, significance. The next time you feel like crying, turn to any page in this book and enjoy a good belly laugh instead. Like most of you, I've engaged in my share of lame, stupid acts. However, buying this book is one of the smartest things I've ever done.

Great Gift Book for Everyone

When I got my first copy I honestly didn't know what to expect. I bought it mostly because of the title. But what a fantastic book. It's a lot of fun, very funny and super fast to read. It just keeps coming at you. The author Bob Fenster must be some sort of weird guy or at least he has a wonderfully weird outlook on life. I've just ordered four more copies of "Duh" for our kids for Christmas.

Ever Hear About The Guy Who Tried To Rob A Donut Shop?

No fiction, no humor, matter how cleverly crafted, can surpass the utter idiocy of *real human beings*. The author has captured the essence of our human struggle to cope with daily life in this *hilarious* ode to stupidity. I guarantee that you'll not only laugh 'til your sides split, but will find yourself quoting many of the entries as I have been doing. This book would make the perfect stocking stuffer from anyone on your Christmas list with an off-beat sense-of-humor.
