Barry Funny

The first humor book I ever read was called Dave Barry Is NOT Making This Up. It was a collection of columns by funnyman Dave Barry (who else?), and I laughed until I cried reading about exploding cows, snakes in toilets and Barry’s long-suffering teenage son, Robert. Or maybe it was Barry himself who was long-suffering. Point being: Dave Barry is a funny, funny guy. What else would you expect from the Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist who penned Big Trouble? And today, you could be lucky enough to actually meet the guy at the Wildlife Experience, 10035 South Peoria Street in Parker. He’s there as part of the Douglas County Libraries Author Extravaganza, a series of events highlighting writers and writing.
