(August House Jan. 10, 2006)
Call it what you will nincompoop, knucklehead, ninnyhammer, numskull, noodlehead stories about the fool have been around as long as people have been sharing stories. Everyone has had a noodlehead day, a day when the brain takes a leave of absence and nothing but noodles seems to fill the space above the eyebrows. Noodlehead stories remind us that we are not alone when we hear a story about a fool. Although these tales of fools were written primarily for entertainment, much about human nature can be learned from these stories. Knuckleheads come in all forms and shapes—young and old, weak and powerful, rich and poor, male and female. There's a ninnyhammer for everyone with stories like: “The Wise Fools of Gotham,” “The Knee-High Man,” “Clever Elsie,” or “The Men With Mixed-Up Feet.” These stories of fools come from all over the world including: Denmark, Uruguay, Lebanon, Algeria, Indonesia, Moldova, Poland, Iceland, Ghana, Ireland—even the good old USA!
