Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The old adage truth is stranger than fiction can also be construed as truth is funnier than fiction and we see no shortage of real people doing and saying dumb things and making us laugh in the process. The Editors of Reader’s Digest present a hilarious collection of dumb people doing dumb things. Every day in America we are bombarded by stupidity; sometimes we just shake our heads, but most of the time we get a good laugh out of the really dumb things people do and say. In our first collection of dumb stories we poke a little fun at the unbelievably dumb things that happen in our lives and have a good chuckle along the way. “You’re a dumb criminal if…You’re not picky about your office locations. Christopher Exley of Everett, Washington, was arrested for conducting a drug deal over the phone—in the bathroom of the Everett Police Department.” “During my brother-in-law’s first performance review, his boss said, “I’m not quite sure what it is you do here. But whatever it is, could you do it faster?” --Jeanie Waara, Philip, SD “In an attempt to balance work and motherhood, I delegated the grocery shopping to my young babysitter. But the job proved a tad daunting. One day while I was at work, she texted me from the supermarket. “Can’t find Brillo pads,” she wrote. “All they have are Tampax and Kotex.” --Kimberly Clark, Alpharetta, GA “I overheard an elderly gentleman tell his friend that he couldn’t meet him the next day because he had to go to the hospital for an autopsy. His friend was sympathetic: “I had one of those last year. Luckily it wasn’t serious.” --Tracy Moralee, Hitchin, Great Britain

Book excerpt: Winner of the Schneider Book Award The award-winning author of the Elemental series delivers a rock-and-roll novel that Lauren Myracle called “raw, fresh, funny, and authentic.” The Challenge: Eighteen-year-old Piper has one month to get her high school’s coolest rock band Dumb a paying gig. The Deal: If she does it, Piper will become the band’s manager and get her share of the profits. The Catch: How can Piper possibly manage a band made up of an egomaniacal pretty boy, a talentless piece of eye candy, a silent rocker, an angry girl, and a crush-worthy nerd boy? And how can she do it when she’s deaf? Piper is determined to show her classmates that just because she’s hearing impaired doesn’t mean she’s invisible. With growing self-confidence, a budding romance, and a new understanding of her parent’s decision to buy a cochlear implant for her deaf baby sister, she discovers her own inner rock star and what it truly means to be a flavor of Dumb. For fans of K. L. Going’s Fat Kid Rules the World and Catherine Gilbert Murdock’s Dairy Queen.

Book excerpt: Free the Dumb is about how Americans have lost their freedom by giving up their God given rights for privileges. The government should serve the people; the people should not serve the government. Will Rogers said, Its not what you dont know that hurts you. Its what you know that aint so. Benjamin Franklin said, Anyone giving up rights for security deserves to lose both. Orville Wright said, If we were to accept truth as everything we were told to be true, there would be little hope for the human race. Here are just a few questions that you will find the answers to in this book: What was bulletproof George Washingtons vision for the United States? Why did it take two years after the Revolutionary War to sign the Treaty of Paris giving the American people the rights of a King? People of a State are entitled to all rights which formerly belong to the King by his prerogative. Lansing vs. Smith (1892) Wend.9, 20. How after hundreds of years of prayer in school did the government, supporting communism, make it unconstitutional? Why lawyers are not citizens of the United States and why every law made after the 1840s is an illegal law? How you volunteered to be a subject citizen by not stating that you didnt volunteer even though you didnt know that you have to state that you didnt volunteer, which resulted in losing all the rights of a King, trading rights for privileges and illegally transferring non transferable rights. How Americans support the ten planks of communism? How can you pledge allegiance to a Republic and live in a democracy when democracy is mentioned zero times in the United States Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land? How indentured servitude was changed to slavery? How many people in the 20th century were killed because their countries did not have a 2nd Amendment? Why is gay marriage illegal? How the American people since March 9, 1933 became the enemy of the government? Why is Social Security under Treaty Law and should never run out of money? What is the difference between living in the United States vs. living in the united States of America? Comrade Lenin said, Confuse the meaning of words and you confuse the mind. Why the only legal tax form is 2555 and why wages are not income? How the Federal Reserve creates money out of thin air and charges the American people interest? What is the truth about ID cards, road blocks and searches? What is the difference between driving and traveling? How can you own land without any government interference, including property taxes? What are the rights of a jury and how to challenge jurisdiction? Why oil wells dont dry up? Why was lead taken out of paint? How the government made hippies? What is the truth about mammograms and how to increase breast size when going through puberty? What is the cure for cancer which was discovered in 1931? What are the natural cures and preventions for diseases, including autism? What is an easy, painless procedure to kill parasites? How a dental chart will show which organs in your body are connected to your teeth? What are the effects of electricity on your body and soul? How to tell who gives you energy, who you give energy to, whose energy controls you and whose energy you control? What are the best foods to eat for your energy? How to look at faces and determine what organs are damaged? How King James changed the Bible? How to get spiritual help? Why the created can never be greater than the one that created it? Are your public servants serving you or are you serving them?

Book excerpt: Culled from business headlines and corporate files, Why Smart People Do Dumb Things is an in-depth examination of the ultimate in boardroom breakdown--a postmortem of the mega-mistakes made by highly regarded leaders in business and public life. From the "New Coke" debacle to the poor subscription showing of the Olympic Triplecast to the swirling controversy of Whitewater, Feinberg describes how strong minds can misuse their power, and why bright people often seize upon--and advocate brilliantly--ideas that others recognize as ridiculous.
