In Fractured English, bestselling author, Richard Lederer shares his collection of language gems, presented in his signature style-uncut, unpolished, and one hundred percent genuine. Fractured English is the only place you'll encounter this student's complaint: "I pass my testes. My grades should be hirer" or this headache of a headline: "Legislators Tax Brains to Cut Deficit." "Some people are bird-watchers. I watch word-botchers," declares the author as he expertly guides you through his world of loopy language. Enjoy more classic Ledrerer with Crazy English, a romp through the logic-boggling byways of our language, where you'll discover the names for phobias you didn't know you could have, the longest words in our dictionaries, and the shortest sentence containing every letter of our alphabet. You'll laugh as you learn that the English language is the only language in which you drive in a parkway and park in a driveway, and your nose can run and your feet can smell! Crazy English is perfect laugh-out-loud entertainment, guaranteed to keep you figuratively glued to your seat while you fall heels over head in love with our lunatic language.

When Bob Dylan crooned, "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind," it turned out a lot of people thought he had declared an odd but worthy allegiance to tiny creatures in trouble: "The ants are my friends, blowin' in the wind!" Word lovers, pun lovers, music lovers, slaphappy kids, and everyone with a sense of humor will groan mightily at this collection of just such misunderstood, borrowed, fractured, and pun-filled versions of song lyrics, compiled by two talented humorists, both former International Punsters of the Year.
