World’s Dumbest Crooks…

BOOK NAME: World’s Dumbest Crooks and Other True Tales of Bloopers, Botches & Blunders
AUTHOR: Allan Zullo

i-1fa45242bf6bf01fad4c3ef55bfb8a0b-worldsdumbestcrooks.jpg

This book is about some of the world’s dumbest crooks, stupidest sports plays and other stuff like that.

Here’s one example. This robber robbed a store and was so tired afterward that he thought he’d sit down for a while and he accidentally fell asleep! In the store he just robbed! The police caught him while he was taking his nap.

Then, there was this lady who had a vending machine at her store. She brought her cat to work everyday. She was going to sell her vending machine, but her cat jumped in the machine trying to get some food. The cat ended up on a five-hour trip to the store of the new owner!

There is another one was about a quarterback on a football team during a game. His team was lined up and he took the ball to the ref and said it was a practice ball. Then he yelled “Hike!” He kept the ball and ran all the way to the touchdown. And the referees said it counted!

This book was interesting because it had so many funny stories about how stupid and funny people could be. The book has chapters about crooks, sports, animals, movie stars and a few others.

I hope you enjoy this book if you end up getting it. It’s really funny.

    ah yes. human stupidity never ever fails to be funny. like albert einstein said, “only two things are infinite, the universe and man’s stupidity,and i’m not so sure about the former.” or something to that effect. i dunno. this book definitely sounds hilarious!

    This book doesn’t sound that good only to me. I also don’t think that books, or anything else should call anything or anyone that’s real stupid.

    Some time ago I bought this book from a school book order and it was great! Almost all the time I was reading I was thinking about possibly not beliving the stuff people had done. I mean accidentally gluing yourself to a floor??!!

    By the way I agree with SAID and everybody else who said it was great. for people who do not like certain parts of the book, there are other parts of the book like sports and animals. I think it would make a great book report book and a great book for ages 8-12.

    Ok. I am still trying to get over peoples logic. It is like, well i am going to rob a house and then not even look at what i grabbed and then have it be super heavy and when i i open it some time later it is all pennies!?And HPlover, you are dumb to be a crook in the first place.

    HPlover and the person that agreed with HPlover are right. tho it still might be a funny book to read. Not as good as harry potter,tho. but still, it might be handy to tell a good story at lunch time when you are bored of telling stories about aliens destroying dunkin donuts, and your friends are bored of you talking about harry potter nonstop.
    I bet all the crooks in here are high school drop outs. if i were a crook, i would totally have a plan, not to mention backup plans and ideas of what i want to steal. but, i dont want to be a crook. i want to be an author/illustrator/costume designer for Warner Brothers, who made the Harry potter movies.
