Book Synopsis: 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”)
