Synopsis

"I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully." So says US President George Bush. He's not alone in his wisdom, politicians from all parties, as well as celebrities, writers, and official bodies have all spouted words that they wish they could take back. Whether it's Brooke Shields famously talking about the perils of smoking ("Smoking kills. If you're killed, you've lost a very important part of your life.") or one of Elvis's early promoters telling him to go back to work as a trucker, this book presents a collection of the stupidest things ever said. Some show appalling lack of judgment, others a profound failure of understanding, while yet more just give evidence of an embarrassing intelligence quota. One thing that all the quotes in this book have in common are that they're all hilariously funny.
