Dave Barry Is Not Making This Up by Dave Barry
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELER - You can't make this stuff up. Dave Barry wouldn't lie--and here are the real life, laugh-out-loud stories from across America to prove it. Get up-close with Dave as he examines UFO thrillseekers and Elvis-worshippers, plays lead guitar with a horrifying rock band that includes Stephen King, and swears to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth in stories like these: - a U.S. Supreme Court justice shares his remedy for preventing gas (I had not realized that this was a matter of concern in the highest levels of government) - a newspaper headline in Ohio announces the combustibility of strawberry Pop-Tarts (A story that can really help you gain a better understanding of how you can be killed by breakfast snack food) - a frightening fact that snakes have mastered the pipelines leading directly to your toilet--and they're not shy (Many women might view this as a fair punishment for all the billions of times that guys have left the seat up). Barry is at his best.--The Baltimore Sun He zaps the funny bone.
--The Cincinnati Post
Dave has also written a total of 25 books, although virtually none of them contain useful information. Two of his books were used as the basis for the CBS TV sitcom Dave's World, in which Harry Anderson played a much taller version of Dave.
Dave plays lead guitar in a literary rock band called the Rock Bottom Remainders, whose other members include Stephen King, Amy Tan, Ridley Pearson and Mitch Albom. They are not musically skilled, but they are extremely loud. Dave has also made many TV appearances, including one on the David Letterman show where he proved that it is possible to set fire to a pair of men's underpants with a Barbie doll.
In his spare time, Dave is a candidate for president of the United States. If elected, his highest priority will be to seek the death penalty for whoever is responsible for making Americans install low-flow toilets.
Dave lives in Miami, Florida, with his wife, Michelle, a sportswriter. He has a son, Rob, and a daughter, Sophie, neither of whom thinks he's funny.
Dave Barry is a humor columnist. For 25 years he was a syndicated columnist whose work appeared in more than 500 newspapers in the United States and abroad. In 1988 he won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. Many people are still trying to figure out how this happened.
