Items related to Dave Barry Is Not Making This Up
You can't make this stuff up! Dave Barry would never lie -- and here are the real life, laugh-out-loud stories from across America to prove it: 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); the 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).
So get up-close with Dave as he swears to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth . . . so God help you!

Review:
The title, as Dave Barry admits, is not entirely accurate. To be sure, this collection of articles does contain what the Pulitzer-Prize-winning author calls "an unusually high (for me) level of factual content." But there is also an abundance of goofy reportage, fart jokes (see "It's A Gas"), and Barry's long-overdue thoughts on natural childbirth.
From the Publisher:
Although it has been three years since Dave Barry Is Not Making This Up was published, customers are asking not only about Dave's more recent books, but also this quirky book. It is filled with funny anecdotes about anything from combustible strawberry Pop-Tarts to Elvis worshippers.
