Parsons D. It Must Be True - Classic Newspaper Howlers, Bloomers and Misprints

London, Sydney: Ebury Press, 2002. — 273 p.A compilation of newspaper misprints from the press of the English-speaking world. Typos and editorial bungles bring about unintentionally hilarious new meanings.Denys Parsons was the undisputed king of the misprint and over the years he compiled many best-selling volumes. It Must Be True brings together the very best of these timeless clangers dredged from the daily press across the English-speaking universe from the Berkhamsted Gazette to the Bulawayo Chronicle. Including both bizarre accidents of typesetting and delightful editorial bungles, most of the mishaps bring a hilarious unintentional new meaning, while others allow an inspired breed of nonsense to reign for a brief but glorious moment.This is a very funny book and will definitely make you chuckle if not laugh-out-loud! The mis-prints, bloopers and newspaper screw-ups are separated into various chapters such as: Animals, In the Kitchen, The Church (these always prove to be funny, though unintentional in most cases!), Medical and Scientific, Education, Sport, etc. One slip turns an otherwise legible sentence or phrase into gibberish, albeit funny and amusing gibberish! Love these types of book because they are easy to read and a pleasant way to pass a few minutes, whether you commute regularly or are crippled and must spend a good deal of time in bed. Plus, laughing is good for your health and soul! Get this book and enjoy some silly fun. It astounds how people can be so stupid as to not check what they've actually written before commiting it to print.This is the funniest book ever published. A random selection from "It Must Be True" makes laugh almost instantly. Most enjoyable book as usual Denys Parsons is a joy to read.
