Publisher Description
The New York Times calls him "the funniest man in America," and his legions of fans agree, laughing and snorting as they put his books on best-seller lists nationwide.
In Boogers Are My Beat, Dave gives us the real scoop on:
The scientific search for the world's funniest joke (you can bet it includes the word "weasel")
RV camping in the Wal-Mart parking lot
Outwitting "smart" kitchen appliances and service contracts
Elections in Florida ("You can't spell Florida without 'duh'")
The Olympics, where people from all over the world come together to accuse each other of cheating
The truth about the Dakotas, the Lone Ranger, and feng shui
The choice between death and taxes
And much, much more - including some truths about journalism and serious thoughts about 9/11.
Customer Reviews
Not current, not well read
Dave Barry is one of my favorite comedy writers but this book does not translate well to audio, perhaps because the narrator does not have a good sense of comedic timing or perhaps because most of the articles, at least in the beginning, are about Florida's role in the 2000 presidential race and that was too long ago for the humor to be relevant. I could not listen to this.
