Do they make "Plagiarism for Dummies"?

~ Oscar Wilde on The Dummies Series

I don't understand - does "a reference for the rest of us" really mean that the books are made for everyone except me???

~ Captain Oblivious on ...For Dummies

I'm a Dummy and i'm proud of it!

In the 1970's, a series of intelligence tests were used to find the percentage of dummies in the population. It was found that the percentage exceeded 130 percent. This was too large of a market to go untapped, so book companies jumped into the market.

More research was performed, and it was discovered that Americans first started getting dumber in the 1950's. It was largely suspected that the cause was television, but this was difficult to prove. Later it was found to be that the lead solder in the television was the problem, and the cause was that people became confused by the term "TV Dinners" and had started to eat televisions.

The "Dummies" series (...For Dummies) are books instructing the reader how to accomplish some task.

[edit] 'Sex for Dummies' Trilogy

The following trilogy has been recalled by the manufacturer, nine months after publication:

(The fact that there were four books in this trilogy (in addition to fifteen more which at the time of the recall in editing stages) is a side effect of most of the book being composed of interviews by members of the target audience.)

In retrospect, it appears that encouraging dummies to breed was a quite bad idea.

IDG, the International Dummies Group, apologises for this grevious error.
