Fact is stranger than fiction. Just when you thought it was safe to read the Sunday papers comes this volume of the most bizarre, the most shocking, the oddest, craziest, most outlandish, hysterical, unbalanced, the weirdest stuff ever to find its way into our nation's newspapers. Witness events so peculiar, behavior so ridiculous, conduct so questionable, it's beyond even the most creative imagination -- but it's all true. - Back cover.
