Yes, they really said that. Politicians, perhaps a bit too truthful ( "There are a lot of things we do that are irrelevant, but that's what the Senate is for," Senator Alan Simpson). Ineffective supermarket promotions ( "Buy 3, Get 0 Free" ). What not to put on a résumé ( I would like to work for a company that is very lax when it comes to tardiness )--all more jaw-droppingly dumb than ever. It's a moment of glorious stupidity for every day.
