Dave Barry
Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist Dave Barry is a pretty amiable guy. But lately, heâ€™s been getting a little worked up. What could make a mild-mannered man of words so hot under the collar? Well, a lot of thingsâ€“like bad public art, Internet millionaires, SUVs, Regis Philbin . . . and even bigger problems, like,â€¢ The slower-than-deceased-livestock left-lane drivers who apparently believe that the right lane is sacred and must never come in direct contact with tires,â€¢ The parent-misery quotient of last-minute school science fair projects,â€¢ Day trading and other careers that never require you to take off your bathrobe,â€¢ The plague of the low-flow toilets, which is so bad that even in Miami, where you can buy drugs just by opening your front door and yelling â€œHey! I want some crack,â€ you canâ€™t even sell your first born to get a normal-flushing toilet,Dave Barry is not taking any of this sitting down. Heâ€™s going to stand up for the rights of all Americans against ridiculously named specialty â€œâ€“chinoâ€ coffees and the IRS. Just as soon as he gets the darn toilet flushed.,From the Trade Paperback edition.
