Customer Reviews

If you need a good laugh just open this book to any page!

This book had the non-reader in my family happily reading and then reading aloud to the rest of us, relating the stories he was laughing about.By the end of the day everyone in our family had heard or read every single page of the book!If you need to tickle your funny bone or want to tickle the funny bone of someone else...this will do it. If you want to entice someone to read who says "I don't enjoy reading", they will enjoy reading this!The book contains some stories that are not appropriate for children...probably would rate a PG13 if it were a movie.

Very stupid and very funny

The title says it all. This has to be the stupidest book I've ever read but also one of the funniest. I couldn't believe how stupid these things are, and I laughed my head off. As you might expect, this book is a great "bathroom book" as they're called. It's great to dip into for a few quick laughs. I gave it as a "grab-bag" gift this Christmas to some people in the office since I knew they would get a laugh out of it. I am sure they did!

Turth is definitely funnier than fiction

Extremely funny -- but it does make you wonder about the smarts of many people! These stories made us laugh very hard, but we couldn't help but wonder why people do such nuts things. The one thing we noticed: It's definitely not geographical. Apparently stupid stunts are an international phenomenon. (which made us feel better here in a major U.S. city!) All in all, a very funny read.

Totally Funny!

Got this as a gift and didn't know what to expect...but wound up laughing my head off. These stories are killers and prove that truth is definitely stranger (and funnier)than fiction! I really enjoyed this and recommend it very much for anyone who needs a laugh.

Hilarious

A truly wonderful funny book -- totally enjoyed it. It made me laugh and was also very much enjoyed by my kids (with some censorship). Other peoples' stupidity is wonderful to read about -- makes my own seem not so dumb!
