Blurb:
It's unbelievable-some of the bird-brained
things people have done. For example, there's the burglar who got
caught-because he fell asleep on the job. The bank robbers who got
arrested-because they accidentally locked themselves in the vault. The crook who
broke into a glue factory-and was nabbed because he got glued to the floor. The
man running for political office who lost by one vote-because he forgot to
vote. This book is packed with stories that are ridiculous, outrageous-and
true!
Review:
World’s Dumbest Crooks and Other True
Tales of Bloopers, Botches & Blunders by Allan Zullo is a fun read I picked up for laughs.
It’s important for me to do that once in a while because I generally read a
variety of rather weighty materials. I especially enjoyed this book as an
example of the humor found in real life situations. There is often no need for
fabricated jokes when we can discover the comedy of odd human behaviors right
around us. I would recommend this book for anyone who wants a light, easy read
with lots of great laughs. It’s the kind of relaxing book you might read while
sitting in the lobby of the doctor’s office—and if you tend to laugh out loud,
you just might amuse others with your own human behavior.

You’ll notice we always
include the publisher’s buy link. That’s
because authors usually receive 40% of the cover price from the publisher. Editors and cover artists usually receive
about 5%. When you buy a book from
Amazon, Barnes & Noble or another third-party vendor, they take a hefty cut
and the author, editors and cover artists receive their royalties from what is
left. So, if a book costs $5.99 at Publisher.com
and you buy from there, the author will receive about $2.40. If you buy the book at Amazon, the author
will receive about $0.83.
