内容简介

"Richard Lederer is the true king of language comedy. Anguished English is the funniest book I have ever read." -Sidney Sheldon Anguished English is filled with accidental misuses of language that will delight and entertain you. This book has all the student bloopers, dangling modifiers, misread headlines, and malapropisms imaginable. It's a must-have for word lovers everywhere. Advertisement: "Dog for sale. Eats anything and is fond of children." In a lawsuit: "Doctor, how many autopsies have you performed on dead people?" "All my autopsies are on dead people." On a Hong Kong tailor shop: "Ladies may have a fit upstairs." Describing an accident: "In an attempt to kill a fly, I drove into a telephone pole." From student essays to newspaper headlines, here is a fabulous collection of linguistic goofs and mixed-up metaphors that have done everything from rewriting history to announcing the ability of a soft drink to resurrect the dead! Dell.
