Embarrassing Ways to Die

Book excerpt: The gangster who danced himself to death. The fortuneteller who didn't foresee that her client would kill her. Read about it all, and hundreds more, in this all-true treasury of freaky fatalities. Death is tragic--but it's sometimes undignified, too. And there are many ways you can exit the stage of life that are quite embarrassing. For example, there's the man who got into a fight with a monkey and lost, and the burglar who thought he was Santa Claus and got stuck in a chimney. These hundreds of entertaining true reports from across the globe reveal the most ridiculous ways you can meet your maker--and they'll make you laugh in spite of yourself.
