Aug 4 2024 - Things You Should Never Say

 

A book of quotes you shouldn't quote.  That's what the book "What Not To Say" claims.  Its title actually continues "A Compendium of the Worst Possible Things You Can Utter Aloud".   
 

Stay away from awkward exchanges and consult this clever compendium for things you should never, ever say. Learn what not to say at a job interview (“How strict is your sexual-harassment policy?”), what not to say to a cat lady (“Dogs are so much friendlier!”), and what not to say to anyone else you don’t want to offend (“Don’t take this personally, but…”).

  • A book of quotes you probably shouldn’t quote
  • Knock Knock books make great gifts for men and women who want to be their wittiest self 
  • Hardcover; 4.25 x 6.25 inches; 128 pages
At 128 pages, this means there are a lot of things to not say.   Here's the sample on what not to say during a dinner party.  

My favourite is the last:  Before I start eating - your toilet works fine, doesn't it?

There's nothing like a little satire to brighten up one's day.

 
 
 I thought there might be jokes about things you should never say.  I found them.

Teacher: "Kids, what does the chicken give you?"
Student: "Meat!"
Teacher: "Very good! Now what does the pig give you?"
Student: "Bacon!"
Teacher: "Great! And what does the fat cow give you?"
Student: "Homework!"

A teacher wanted to teach her students about self-esteem, so she asked anyone who thought they were stupid to stand up. One kid stood up and the teacher was surprised. She didn’t think anyone would stand up so she asked him, “Why did you stand up?” He answered, “I didn’t want to leave you standing up by yourself.”

Here's a set of doors for the Knock Knock publishing company of the Things to Never Say book.
