Customer Reviews

Great book, but out of print

If you were a fan of the Jay Leno newspaper bloopers, you'll love this book -- if you can find it. I purchased mine used, as as of this review it's out of print. I highly recommend it.

Be Careful!

You could hurt yourself laughing! I recommend NOT reading it in a public space as people are sure to think you've gone over the edge. The only thing wrong with it is that it's nearly two decades old. Where are the bloopers from the 80s till now?

When I must laugh or else I will cry...

This is a wonderful book, especially for reading aloud. The headlines and other excerpts are works of deathless prose or unintended double-entendres which were *actually printed* by newspapers around the country. Watch for your home town newspaper -- perhaps someone you know thought up the headline "Milk Drinkers Turn to Powder." Well worth the investment.
