Back for a second year with all new entries, this calendar will continue to amaze readers with its intelligence on stupidity. A hilarious collection of the incredibly stupid things people do and say--even the really smart people--the "Duh! 2004 Calendar entertains readers by pointing out some of the many people out there who are more stupid than they are. Anyone would feel smart next to the guy who died from snake bites after he and his friend played catch (with rattlesnakes); or next to the crook who stole a car, found a camera inside, used it to take pictures of himself, then left the camera in the car (his next photo was a police mug shot); and especially next to the guy from Sunderland, England, who glued his nostrils shut after confusing a bottle of glue with nasal spray. Readers get a double benefit with this calendar: a smart laugh every day and a boost in self-esteem.
When I was 11, it seemed to me that the world was a crazy place, but I grew up in NYC so it wasn't unexpected. I've spent the rest of my life verifying that observation. This is a worthwhile pursuit if you have no talent for making money.
The best thing about being a writer is that if you have no useful skills or talents, it doesn't make any difference. Also, the hours are good because you're both always working and never working.
