The Stupidest Things Ever Said by Ross and Kathryn Petras

A collection of spectacular verbal wrong turns

Good Condition - Price sticker on the front cover with minor wear to the edges and corners, otherwise clean and readable.

Ross and Kathryn Petras gather a parade of statements whose speakers might have wished for a second attempt. Politicians, media commentators, sports figures and other public voices contribute to this collection of verbal blunders, confused reasoning and unintentionally revealing remarks. Bureaucratic language becomes absurd, confident pronouncements undermine themselves, and familiar subjects produce answers that wander far from common sense. Arranged for browsing, the short entries allow readers to move quickly from one conversational catastrophe to another. The Stupidest Things Ever Said finds its comedy in the gap between what people intend to communicate and what they actually say. It offers reassuring evidence that an embarrassing remark need never be the last word in human foolishness.
