  <default_description>A Greatest Hits package to die for, in which the inimitable, Pulitzer-packing humorist applies himself to taxes, toilets, airbags, baseball, beer commercials, and numerous other American artifacts. A typical bit, from a piece on legalized gambling: &quot;Off-Track Betting parlors are the kinds of places where you never see signs that say, 'Thank You for Not Smoking.' The best you could hope for is, 'Thank You for Not Spitting Pieces of Your Cigar on My Neck.'&quot; Happy? There's plenty more where that came from.</default_description>

Didn't some of those comments about Reagan apply just as well to Bush?

    <body><![CDATA[This is a collection of artciles by humor columnist Dave Barry, writer for the Miami Herald. Some may be a bit dated for current readers, as they refer to events that were happening at the time, but the writing is laugh-out-loud funny.

I still remember that it contained some bit about how snakes were learning to move from toilet to toilet, which I thought was absolutely hilarious.

    <body><![CDATA[I guess you could say I went through a Dave Barry 'phase' about ten years ago.  His humor quickly became predictable and felt too 'safe', that same vanilla attempt to please all with his jokes that watered down the once-funny Jay Leno when he took over Johnny's gig.<br/><br/>That said, Barry is fu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/27014166">more...</a>]]></body>
