Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, bestselling author, and Wheel of Fortune contestant Dave Barry exposes the shattering truth. Whether he's spalashing with the U.S. synchronized swim team ("Picture a bunch of elegant swans swimming with a flailing sea cow") or reliving the Pilgrims' first Thanksgiving ("We've decided to obliterate your culture, but first may we try the stuffing?"), Dave Barry proves that one man can make a difference -- by having the guts to answer the questions few people bother to ask:

-- What makes people want to eat animals they would never consider petting?
-- Where do the World's Three Most Boring People meet?
-- Why is Colorado freezing so many human gonads?
-- And just how does Oprah have the power to turn a 1957 Hotpoint toaster manual into a #1 bestseller?

Planned release at a community yard sale just outside Lancaster, Pa. The sale will be from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. (ish), but I will have a box of FREE BookCrossing books available until the last one finds its next reader! If any local BookCrossing Hunters want details about the location, just PM me!
