About this ebook

Over 200 true stories of boneheadedness and buffoonery from the New York Times-bestselling author of Stupid History!

Former Saturday Night Live writer Leland Gregory has shown us gray matter-challenged examples in everything from the criminal world to the hallowed halls of government. This time, though, everyone, everywhere is fair game if they've exhibited outrageously stupid behavior. Consider:

* The forgetful fireman who left cooking oil on the stove and returned from a call to find the station house burned to the ground

* A lung cancer patient who caused an explosion when he lit up a cigarette—in his oxygen tent

* A 58-year-old billiards player who was suspended from competition after testing positive for a muscle-building hormone

* F. Edward Hebert, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, who said, “The only way we’ll get a volunteer army is to draft them”

Hey Idiot! lets everyone from bosses to public officials, doctors to sports heroes, skewer themselves with their moronic words and actions.

Light hearted reading which has a lot of very stupid but unfortunately realistic tales. Very apt title and amazing how many idiots there are out there, and unfortunately they also continue to breed so there will be many more for follow up sequels to this book. If you enjoy a bit of light hearted reading and do not mind smiling at you fellow humans stupidity then you will enjoy this book. Just do not take it too seriously and you should have a few hours smiling ahead.☺
