  Barry

  I don't understand why anyone finds this guy funny. It must be some strange USA thing - he is almost as unfunny as Art Buchwald (sp?). I have never even cracked a smile at one of his columns.

    Yeah, humor is certainly a very subjective thing... For some reason, though, Dave Barry has always been able to make me crack up. Sorry if you didn't find this funny.
    
    Art Buchwald, though... I never understood him.

  I love Dave Barry (and I am Canadian)

  But some of his stuff is funnier than other stuff. His books are almost always 10 x funnier than the average column (not to say that the columns aren't funny!)
  
  I and a couple of friends used to read Dave Barry aloud, passing the book on when we could no longer speak from laughing. It was a great deal of fun.
  
  My favorite book is Dave Barry Does Japan, which contains one of the funniest pieces on "classical arts" that I've ever read ("Somebody stab him again!").
  
  Ah, the memories :)
