About Us

We are a brother and sister writing team who were born in the late 50s and raised in suburbia.

One of us wears glasses, one doesn’t, and 50% of us is female. The other 50% is male — and is taller than the other half.

We’re the authors of the national bestselling “Stupidest” series – which includes the #1 bestselling page-a-day calendar “The 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said” (now in its 18th year — with over 4 million copies sold), “Unusually Stupid Americans,” “B is for Botox – an alphabet book for middle aged people”,”Jane’s Guide to Dicks,” and the newly published “The Stupidest Things Ever Said Book of All-Time Stupidest Top 10 Lists.”

Our work has received the attention of personalities like David Brinkley and Howard Stern and publications including the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, the Wall Street Journal, Playboy, Cosmopolitan, the Washington Post and the London Times.

One or the other (or both!) has/have been a guest on hundreds of radio shows and tv shows, including Good Morning America (about menopause), CNN (about bad poetry) and Fox and Friends (about Paris Hilton).

Oh, and one of us was a Jeopardy contestant (but, sadly, came in third – and only won a designer watch . . .).
