Thanks for reminding me of how funny Dave Barry is. I really do miss his syndicated weekly column. Nothing was off limits even if it was something dumb that he did, if it was funny to him he wrote about it. I of course usually laughed with him and at him sometimes. Sorry Dave.
Thankful For: Humor

I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but Dave Barry never fails to make me laugh. At holidays, I like to hunt down his relevant columns and reread them.
In case your sense of humor is similar and you need a break from prepping your family/house/food for Thanksgiving, I’ve collected a few links to past Thanksgiving columns of his.
Did you know Colin Powell is the capital of Vermont? Read about it in “By the way, those turkey snakes have giant fangs, too.”
This one includes the phrase “a ticking Meat Bomb of Death”: “Defusing the turkey bomb.”
And last but not least, a whole scene with Pilgrims: Great American turkeys.”
(Oh, and don’t worry about the snakes. He’s totally making that up.)

LOVE Dave Barry! My parents always read his column, and one of their favorites was one where he talked about his wife being in labor and how all that he and other men could do was “lift heavy objects and spit” That has become something that’s quoted in our family quite often. Thanks for sharing - I was sitting here with a stomach bug, praying that I’ll be well enough to go to Thanksgiving dinner, and you gave me a laugh
