Dim Wit

'They misunderestimated me' George W. Bush

Einstein said only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity. So in deference to the dumbing down of our culture, comes Dim Wit - a collection of the most jaw-droppingly stupid things ever said. The cast includes every famous foot-in-mouther from George W Bush to Prince Philip, Paris Hilton to Jade Goody, not to mention hundreds of unsung idiots plucked from villages the world over.

The result is a confederacy of dunces more pro-fun than profound - a clever witticism may coax an inward smile but it takes a really stupid remark to deliver a belly laugh. So pick up Dim Wit and prepare to embrace your inner moron - it may be the smartest thing you do...

'My grandma overheard two women talking in a doctor's surgery. After a while, one said to the other, "Do you know, Mary, I don't feel too well. I think I'll go home."' - Robyn Jankel

'I don't think anyone should write his autobiography until after he's dead.' - Samuel Goldwyn

'Winston Churchill? Wasn't he the first black President of America? There's a statue of him near me - that's black.' - Danielle Lloyd

Reviews

You can't write, read, or live fully in the present without knowing the literature of the past. Penguin Classics opens the door to a treasure house of pure pleasure, books that have never been bettered

—— John Mortimer

Penguin and Classics are words that go together like horse and carriage or Mercedes and Benz. When I was a university teacher I always prescribed Penguin editions of classic novels for my courses: they have the best introductions, the most readable notes, and the most carefully edited texts

—— David Lodge

Join Me is the kind of book I love: effortlessly funny, painfully accurate and entertaining to the very end. Brilliant

—— Mike Gayle

Extremely enjoyable. once cannot help wondering whether he has stumbled upon the future shape of spirituality

—— Daily Telegraph

One of the funniest stories you will ever read

—— Daily Mail
