Armed Gunmen, True Facts, and Other Ridiculous Nonsense : A Compiled Compendium of Repetitive Redundancies by Richard Kallan

I bought a new book. I found it on amazon. I had read Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynn Truss and really liked it. My new book was listed as a "those who have bought this, also bought this other book". I have actually found a lot of books that way.

This book is about exactly what the title says. The author lists tautologies and then writes a little humorous remark about them, along with any similar tautologies.

Here are some of my favorites:

Armed Gunmen
When you need to distinguish between two gunmen,
one of whom is missing a couple limbs.

Forcible Rape
When permission to rape isn't granted.

Black Crow
The outcast in those large albino flocks.

Jewish Rabbi
More authentic than a Catholic rabbi.

Married to Her Husband
The fate of a wedded wife.

It's a really cute book. I recommend it.
