(  ) eliorajoy | Oct 28, 2008 |  mlbish | Jun 7, 2006 | The last essay, written for the anniversary of 9/11, is worth reading, if nothing else is. A switch from his usual silliness about boogers, it's a remembrance of the heroes of flight 93, focussing on the essential truth that it's impossible to honor your heroes in a way that's worthy of their sacrifice. All that can be done is to remember them. Beautiful, raw, and poignant, without even a touch of sentimentalism. ( ) sanguinity | Sep 28, 2005 |  no reviews | add a review

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 bestseller lists nationwide. Now Dave Barry gives us the real scoop on such cultural phenomena as: the scientific research for the world's funniest joke (you can bet it includes the word "weasel"); RV camping in the Wal-Mart parking lot; elections in Florida ("You can't spell Florida without 'duh'"); the choice between death and taxes; and much, much, more.
