SCORING BLAME-WORTHINESS THROUGHOUT HISTORY
Wild accusations and historical libel get hurled around in this installment of Bar Stool Historian! With the help of the Blame-O-Meter, an advanced piece of technology sent from the future, we assign blame through history. In doing so we discover:
- How “history’s greatest monster” ruined sweaters
- Why no one can write a proper letter.
- Perfectionists are terrible.
- The dark secret of Ed’s ancestry!
...and much, much more!
