Only 53% :/ Maybe I should consult “Mental Floss Quizzes for Dummies”? ;)

14/15

There is an entire line of “For Dummies” books that deals with parenting. Titles include “Postpartum Depression For Dummies” and “Raising Smart Kids for Dummies.”

Didn’t some comedian write a book ‘Ventriloquism for Dummies’? That’s pretty funny.

Good quiz. 12/15 (missed Pope John Paul, Homeschooling and FreeCell)

the best for dummies book I’ve ever seen was “Depression For Dummies”.

Did no one consider that calling a depressed person a dummy might not be the step on the road to recovery they were hoping for?

Personally, if I were the guy marketing the books, this one time I would have made the exception and called it “Depression for really smart and attractive people”

Gotta love America, where people make money selling books that encompass the same subjects you can read about for free on the Internet.

If you have to get the “Homeschooling for Dummies” book, don’t you think that maybe you shouldn’t be homeschooling in the first place?
