Book Reviews of 776 Stupidest Things Ever Said
Book Review: Best read out loud, lots of fun, sometimes shocking.
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I read (and enjoyed) this book independently, but we had the most fun sitting around and reading each other our favorite quotes. It would probably be good for sharing at family gatherings, too- but be aware that it's not all G-rated. Some of the quotes are quite shocking.A lot of the quotes are syntactically incorrect but still make sense (many of the ones attributed to Yogi Berra and Samuel Goldwyn are like this). These generally aren't as good as the others, which are mostly malapropisms, mixed metaphors, and non-sequiturs.
Most of the mixed metaphors, strangely, are from obscure United Kingdom political figures, while the hands-down king of non-sequiturs is President George Bush. You will not believe some of the totally bizarre things this man is quoted to have said- in public, no less!
Summary of 776 Stupidest Things Ever Said
A connoisseur's compendium of Freudian slips, spoonerisms, double-talk, and utter bosh from famous and infamous figures past and present -- a complete course in anti-eloquence by the foot-in-mouth champions of all time.Humor Books
