World's Dumbest Crooks...

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

World's Dumbest Crooks 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 sounds dumb to me why read about others stupidity when you can read other things to make you smarter

I absolutely LOVE those kind of books. They're so
hilarious (and that's why I love the Dumb Crooks
section in NGK)!

If you were a criminal wouldn't you want to have an escape plan? And be... smart?

I agree with HPLover! I don't wanna be a crook, but I would rather be a smart crook then a...hmm...i don't know...STUPID CROOK?!?!?

Funny! I'll keep an eye out for it at my library! Hey... Does anyone know how 2 become a blogger? I'm reading a REALLY good series called Warriors. It's about cats, hence my name!

I Hate CROOKS
BUT it is ok .

This sounds funny!!! :)

So albert eisntein said that, musemagfan?? that's Awesome!!! maybe i can learn from strategy mistakes (just in case!) and hey maybe theyll be super awesomely funny!!

this book looks funny

I know a friend who owns this book and she shared some stories from it in class. I will definetly get this book on my next trip to the library!

this sounds really funny

This is A TURE BOOK?!?! Wow! I would LOVE this book!

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 love books that are with dumb crooks. i have to read a book that is so boring for my book report.

i would totally agree with ecofreak98!! sounds awsome by the way i think you did a great job talking about the book!! -Erica

sounds really funny i wish i could have caught the crooks!
Erica
