    About this ebook

    Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, bestselling author, and Wheel of Fortune contestant Dave Barry exposes the shattering truth. Whether he's splashing with the U.S. sychronized swim team ("Picture a bunch of elegant swans swimming with a flailing sea cow") or reliving the Pilgrims' first Thanksgiving ("We've decided to obliterate your culture, but first may we try the stuffing?"), Dave Barry proves that one man can make a difference--by having the guts to answer the questions few people bother to ask:

    ¸  What makes people want to eat animals they would never consider petting?
    ¸  Where do the World's Three Most Boring People meet?
    ¸  Why is Colorado freezing so many human gonads?
    ¸  And just how does Oprah have the power to turn a 1957 Hotpoint toaster manual into a #1 bestseller?

      Most of the entries had me laughing so hard that I frightened the dog. (I doubt the cat bothered to wake up.)
    • 4/5
      I've read this book through twice and picked through it several times when I needed a laugh. I'm not sure why some things are so hilarious, even after the fifth time in a row that you've read them. Definitely recommend for those who enjoy light-hearted (sometimes slightly bitter, most often obnoxious) humor. 3.5 out of 5 people that tell you to shut up when you're cracking up while reading this book.
    • 3/5
      I remember a time in middle school when Dave Barry was inexplicably hilarious. I find his humor less appealing now, but expect that when I reach my 60s he'll become funny again.
    • 4/5
      Classic Dave Barry. Try and read this one without laughing out loud, let alone not grinning from ear to ear! A great satirical look at mundane life.
