Anguished English
by: Richard Lederer

I found this book in a quaint store out in Kavanaugh and got such a kick out of it that I had to buy not just one copy, but TWO! :) Here's some silly excerpts that will hopefully bring a smile to your face. These are direct quotes from students "revising" history beyond recognition. ;)

1. The Gorgons had long snakes in their hair. They looked like women, only more horrible.
2. Zwingli's followers all smashed their organs.
3. Sanzibar is noted for its monkeys. The British governor lives there.
4. The Puritans thoughts every event significant because it was a massage from God.
5. The divine wind protected Japan by sinking the fleet of invading Mongrels.
6. During the years 1933-38, there were domestic problems at home as well as abroad.
7. The President of the United States, in having foreign affairs, has to have the consent of the Senate.
8. The difference between a king and a president is that a king is the son of his father, but a president isn't.
