This is a book about stupidity, doltishness, muddleheadedness, incapacity, hebetude, vacuity, shortsightedness, fatuity, idiocy, folly, giddiness, desipience. It deals with the addlecoves, the witless, the weak-headed, short-witted, half-baked; the vacuous, callow, anile; the lack-brained, balmy and besotted... What can be more characteristic of mankind than the fact that Roget's Thesaurus devotes six columns to words associated with ""stupidity"" while ""wisdom"" occupies hardly one? Chapters include ""After You, Sir""; ""The Stupidity of Red tape""; ""The Law is an Ass""; ""The Stupidity of Doubt""; ""Folie Erotique"" and more."
