Nine Hallmarks Of Highly Incompetent Losers: Nine Dumb Mistakes That Everyone Makes, Over And Over And Over... (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615939674)

As co-creator of the syndicated radio service "The Comedy Wire" and contributor to the popular radio feature "The Huckabee Report," Pat Reeder has amassed thousands of actual news stories about people doing incredibly stupid things. Using skills honed from his days in corporate training and communications, he breaks these hilarious stories of failure and humiliation down into nine basic categories of dumb mistakes that everyone makes again and again.

The "reverse self-help book," "Nine Hallmarks of Highly Incompetent Losers," hilariously illustrates how everyone from dumb criminals to corporate CEOs to world leaders falls prey to the same simple mistakes -- "Never Plan Ahead," "Lose Sight Of Your Goal," etc. -- and the only difference is the scale of the ensuing catastrophe. While this book cannot teach you how to succeed, it can teach you how to fail. Once you have the road map to Failure, it's easier to avoid.

From the man who killed his lice by shampooing with gasoline and drying his hair over a wood stove, to the TV host who lost his show for screaming profanity at kittens... from impenetrable jargon to ridiculous "zero tolerance" policies..."Nine Hallmarks of Highly Incompetent Losers" is a handy primer in common sense and critical thinking presented in a form that will make you laugh until your nose bleeds.
