If you like the King of Humor Columns, this is a collection of his columns from the late nineties/early 2000's. (What are we calling that anyway?) Enjoy!

I hadn't realized I'd been reading Mr. Barry for so long, but I read most of the columns in this book when they originally ran in the newspaper. Most of 'em are still great, although some of the jokes haven't aged well. Enjoyable regardless :)

The cover shows Dave Barry sitting on a toilet, reading his Miami newspaper. With such a scene, the reader is immediately sure the prose inside will be of the highest caliber. Dear old Dave lampoons the things in his life that cause him grief, such as 1.6-gallon toilets and 1 million dollar missing missiles (lost by our diligent military), and so on.

These are obviously newspaper articles from the late 1990s to 2000. I guess my favorites of these have to do with manly tools, which Dave should never be allowed near. It gives him an inflated sense of ability. However, I don't feel so anxious about my husband using manly tools now; no one is as bad as Dave.
