There was many people's story in this book,but they are not success stories.They are failure story.For example,drivers who cannot drive,travellers who get lost all the time,and policemen who cannot catch criminals.Suprisingly,those are all true story.

This book is full of funny stories about people who do things wrong.Because there are many funny stories in this book,I felt so interesting.Failure makes us sad,but Failure give us a new chance.We should never give up. ( )

This book is funny short stories.All people in this book are really bad at something.For example,Drivers who can't drive, Weather report which can't give people a weather report!Surprisingly, these are all true story!
I think all stories are very unbelievable and very funny.I like a story about Weather report which can't give people a weather report.I also like The Least Useful Garage.I'm interested in these funny people. ( )

Epigraph
If a thing's worth doing, it is worth doing badly. -- G.K. Chesterton
Dedication
To all those who have written terrible books on how to be a success, I dedicate this terrible book on how it's perfectly all right to be incompetent for hours on end, because I am and so is everyone I know.
