Publisher Description

Following the bestselling 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."

The plague of low-flow toilets

Day trading and other careers that never require you to take off your bathrobe

The parent-misery quotient of school science fairs

Pine-sap transfusions for tired Christmas trees

The real skinny on the IRS, Donald Trump, the airlines, and so much more.…

"It's refreshing to read a humor book where the author doesn't feel the need to use foul language to make it funnier. Dave Barry is hilarious. I can't wait to read more. Thank you Valerie!"

    " Since Dave Barry is best in column-sized doses, collections of his columns like this one make excellent bathroom reading. Admittedly, it's possible I'm being subconsciously influenced by the cover. "

    " Humor columnists should not write books. I will admit that some bits were funny, and that was why I picked this up. But I had to drag my cranial wadding through a lot of frivolous drival to get to the good stuff. I could get the same action with a mediocre podcast. "
