BOOKS---HUMOR

Great little snippets of the stupid things we humans do. Makes a person more aware of the grace of God and His amazing forgiveness.

Let's laugh at people who truly, deeply, madly totally suck.

If you enjoy exploring "the worst of human nature" you will have hours of screamingly funny entertainment with this book. You'll love hating the woman in Arizona who pulled up the the Neiman Marcus in her BMW, took her dog in the store with her but left her baby in the back seat after handing the valet her car keys. Hours later, she was riding in the back of a squad car. Just the headline from a North Caroline newspaper is enough to entertain you. "17 Known Dead in Morgue Shooting Spree." Perhps you'll find most inspirational the story of the husband in Salt Lake City who kidnapped and beat his wife over an argument about attending church! These people exist, and if we can at least laugh at them, their lives are a little more precious for it. (Sick, sad and pathetic, but precious nontheless!) This is weird entertainment for the select and strange few.

Very Funny!

It's truly frightening how many people like this are out in the world. If nothing else, at least it makes for a hilarious read. Cruel and Unusual Idiots is a fantastic collection of short snippets, perfect for a 10-minute break of comedic relief at the office. It's hard to feel sorry for these senseless shmoes, but it's certainly easy to laugh about them.
