Dave Barry Is Not Taking This Sitting Down Following the best-selling success of Dave's novel, Big Trouble, here is a hilarious new collection of columns from the writer critics have called "the funniest man in America." What's been getting Dave Barry all worked up lately? What can possibly induce him to rise up -- yes, actually out of his chair -- in indignation? Well, lots of things. For instance: * The plague of low-flow toilets (very important!) * The monumental parent-misery quotient of school science fairs * How the U.S. Army "lost" a one-million-dollar missile launcher * The hidden dangers of wasabi * "Specialty" coffees * Celebrity low-fat, low-carbohydrate, low-everything diets * Disasters at the FearPlex movie theaters * His dangerous voyage through a cruise ship buffet
Dave Barry Is Not Making This Up Publisher's Summary: Yes, it's true: Pulitzer Prize-winning author Dave Barry's columns get out of the paper and sent around more than those of any other columnist in America. Join Dave as he runs for president, plays Claptonesque guitar in the world's most literary band (The Rock-Bottom Remainders), and gets the real scoop on all those UFO sightings. Warning: Dave Barry has a knack for giving his readers a few laughs and lots of expensive merchandise (ordered from the Home Shopping Club). No, we're not making this up!
