I nearly peed myself when I read that! You are funnier than Dave Barry! I have never been a fan of his humor, but I don't like any kind of "potty" humor. Nice review! You've reminded me NOT to look for his newest dose of catch-all phrases. Although, with the success of Mama Mia, Abba is making a comeback!

Most humans love to have a laugh at the expense of some mindless, meaningless tripe and for this Dave Barry is and always has been very funny. The fact that his work is about the silly, meaningless or irreverent only adds to the satire. If you don't enjoy laughing, that's OK, stick to your stuffed shirt material and let the rest of us enjoy a good yuck at Dave Barry's expense.

And I think he's still funny (though I must admit I haven't read the book you mention yet). Humor, of course, is subjective, so you may not find it funny, but count me among those who look forward to his latest works. Sorry your mileage varied.
