Smart Stupid Humor,
By A Customer
This review is from: 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said Page-A-Day Calendar 2002 (Calendar)
Okay, it sounds like an oxymoron, but it's not. This is very funny stuff here, but you need a certain intelligence to get it. All I know is that, unlike what is said to be funny these days, this calendar made me laugh a lot. There's so much scope here: inanities from celebrities (this is an easy one, no?), politicians doing their usual hot air act, and so on. Bottom line: I needed a laugh, and this calendar definitely delivered! I recommend this based on my flip through and am planning to buy some as gifts now. We all need a laugh these days, especially here in New York.

Very Funny,
By David Wilson (New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said Page-A-Day Calendar 2002 (Calendar)
If you like getting a laugh a day, you will certainly enjoy this. I ordered one for myself and have already begun to read it, well before the New Year. I started laughing and didn't stop. There is a great cross-section of humor here. My personal favorites are the very bizarre typos that appear in newspapers and, of course, the quotes from politicians. On the flip side, for serious and truly thought-provoking wisdom I have been enjoying a little book by Taro Gold called 'Open Your Mind, Open Your Life.'

I love this calendar!,
By phil (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said Page-A-Day Calendar 2002 (Calendar)
This is a page-a-day, so you're supposed to wait for the next day before you look, right? Sorry, can't do it. This great calendar is too funny to wait -- I usually end up reading ahead a month or two, jut to keep myself going. Then on the next day, I read the old stuff again for another good laugh (what a full life I lead!!). Seriously, this is a seriously funny calendar, with all the unintentionally humorous stuff that mostly famous people say (or write). Thanks to the Petras' for this annual tummy tickler -- keep 'em coming!
