NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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."

"He zaps the funny bone."
