Description:
For years, the National Lampoon has been soliciting readers for photographs of the weird signage that litters the American landscape, clippings of unintentional profanity or stupidity in newspapers, and other howlers of visual and written communication. This book collects the best from the archives. Although the book is most hilarious when viewed with the copious illustrations, some of the examples include: - Product Labels:"Try our cough syrup, you will never get any better"; "Walgreen's non-constipating slip-on thong sandals"
- Headlines: "2 Towns Vie for Pizza Hut Sewage"; "Multiple-personality rapist sentenced to two life terms"
- Store Signs: "Let us sniff your tailpipe"; "Perk up with a back-to-school spinal check-up"; "UAB University Inn Welcome Infectious and Parasitics"; "Now Hiring Liver & Onions"
- Newspaper Ads: "For sale: one inflatable sheep. Slightly used, $15"; "Blin Bookmart: Rare, out-of-print, & non-existent books"
Not only is truth stranger than fiction: but real life is often funnier than most comedians.
