A brilliantly funny exploration of the treacherous
state of adulthood by the Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist.
Some people may wonder what this subject has
to do with Dave Barry, since Dave's struggled hard against
growing up his entire life-but the result is one of the
funniest, warmest, most pitch-perfect books ever on that
mystifying territory we call "adulthood".
In
hilarious, brand-new pieces, Dave tackles everything from
fatherhood, new fatherhood ("Over the next five years, you
will spend roughly 45 minutes, total, listening to songs you
like, and roughly 127,000 hours to songs exploring topics
such as how the horn on the bus goes* [*It goes: 'Beep!
Beep! Beep!']"), self-image, the battle of the sexes,
celebrityhood, technology, parenting styles, certain
unmentionable medical procedures ("There is absolutely no
reason to be afraid of a vasectomy, except that: THEY CUT A
HOLE IN YOUR SCROTUM."), and much more. It is a book of pure
delight from the man one newspaper claimed "could become the
most important American humorist since Mark Twain" (South
Florida Sun-Sentinel)...though, frankly, we think
they were indulging in some adult beverages at the time.
