Product Description
You can't make this stuff up! Dave Barry would never lie -- and here are the real life, laugh-out-loud stories from across America to prove it: 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 ); the 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 ).
So get up-close with Dave as he swears to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth . . . so God help you!
Amazon.com Review
The title, as Dave Barry admits, is not entirely accurate. To be sure, this collection of articles does contain what the Pulitzer-Prize-winning author calls "an unusually high (for me) level of factual content." But there is also an abundance of goofy reportage, fart jokes (see "It's A Gas"), and Barry's long-overdue thoughts on natural childbirth.
