Dave Barry is officially the funniest guy ever. Feel free to argue with me, but first read his 2010 Year in Review. It's his spin on world news, headlines, celebrities, etc. Here's a few quotes to prove my point:
"Every poll shows that the major concerns of the American people are federal spending, the exploding deficit, and - above all - jobs. Jobs, jobs, jobs...So the Obama administration, displaying the keen awareness that has become its trademark, decides to focus like a laser on: heath-care reform."
"GM...is hoping to score big with the new "Volt," a revolutionary vehicle capable of traveling nearly six miles before its 19,500 triple-A batteries must be replaced."
"BP tries a series of increasingly desperate measures to plug the [oil] leak, including, at one point, a 167,000 pound wad of pre-chewed Juicy Fruit. President Obama, eager to show that he is on top of the situation, develops sever forehead cramps from standing on the shore and frowning with concern at the water."
"...the US economy suffers another blow as the Federal Bureau of Never Expecting Unemployment To Be As High As It Actually Is reports that for the 37th consecutive month, unemployment is unexpectedly high. 'Darned if we didn't get fooled again!' exclaims a bureau spokesperson..."
Hopefully that is enough fuel for you to join me in voting him funniest guy (or at least writer) ever. View the full article at http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/01/01/1992746/dave-barrys-2010-year-in-review.html
Got my hubby to read it. He told me it sounded like my kind of humor - does that mean it's not his?? Enjoy!
He is a top favorite of mine, and has been since the 80s. I never stop laughing at him. And it's the sign of a true friend when someone else appreciates him.
