Description

In 'Just Stupid!', Andy Griffiths' collection of absurd and hilarious stories, Andy gets into all sorts of wild and wacky situations often due to his own ludicrous decisions and overactive imagination. From mistaking a blob of bubblegum for his brain, to super-gluing his thumb to his nose, Andy's shenanigans are both outrageously funny and cautionary. 'Just Stupid!' is the third book in a series of short stories about the world's smartest, craziest, and most annoying practical joker, co-created by bestselling Treehouse series authors Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton. The book also features a 'stupid test' to determine your affinity for the book's humor, asking questions like if you push doors marked 'pull', believe a bogeyman hides under the bed, or worry about getting sucked into the top of escalators. Depending on the number of 'yes' answers, the test humorously rates your stupidity and suitability for enjoying the book.
